How it's used
Refers specifically to the restraint system in vehicles, but the verb used for putting it on is almost always 扣, which means to buckle or fasten. While 戴 is used for accessories like glasses or hats, it sounds slightly less natural than 扣 when talking about the physical act of securing the belt.
