seat belt
Vehicle safety harness
A seat belt is a strap that holds a person securely in a vehicle or aircraft seat.
Most cars have lap-and-shoulder belts that cross the torso diagonally.
Buckle your seat belt.
To tighten your seat belt figuratively means to prepare for difficulty or turbulence ahead.
