Best Answer

The first modern three-point restraint (integrated lap and shoulder belt) was patented in 1955, though it wasn't standard equipment in the US for many years. In the US, a shoulder belt has been mandatory for the outboard front seats since 1968, though for several years it was common for the lap and shoulder belts to be separate.
