A safety belt (104) is secured to a seat structure (102) using movable anchor points (114, 116, 406). In an embodiment, a y-belt (104) is attached to left and right pivotable anchor plates (110). The anchor plates (110) pivot when a load is applied to the safety belt (104), thus allowing the anchor points to self-align to maintain an equal amount of tension across the lower and higher portion of the seat belt. In a different embodiment, a 2-point safety belt (708) is attached to slidable anchors (406) that move within channels (404) in response to load applied to the safety belt, allowing the anchor points to self-align to maintain proper tension and positioning of the safety belt (708).
