A safety equipment monitoring system for a vehicle, the safety equipment monitoring system comprising:

• a vehicle processor for storing vehicle data including one or more of vehicle event data, vehicle occupant data, and restraint system data;
• and
• a server communicatively coupled with the vehicle processor and configured to:
• determine if deviations from a desired seat belt location have occurred based on one or more of the vehicle event data, the vehicle occupant data, and the restraint system data;
• determine a level of response to the deviations from the desired seat belt location based on one or more of the vehicle event data, the vehicle occupant data, and the restraint system data;
• determine correction methods needed based on one or more of the vehicle occupant data and the restraint system data;
• alert a vehicle occupant of the deviation from the desired seat belt location including a location of a detected deviation and the determined level of response necessary;
• and
• suggest corrective actions based on the determined correction methods needed.

A safety equipment monitoring system for a vehicle, the safety equipment monitoring system comprising:

• a vehicle processor for storing vehicle data including one or more of vehicle location and restraint system data;
• and
• a server communicatively coupled to the vehicle processor and configured to:
• determine if a child safety seat has been installed correctly based on restraint system data;
• suggest installation techniques to correct installation of the child safety seat based on the restraint system data if the child safety seat has not been installed correctly;
• and
• direct the vehicle to a nearest fire station or police station for further assistance based on the vehicle location if it is determined that the child safety seat has not been installed correctly.
