Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder beltis very close to the child's face or neck? At Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the shoulder belt still is on the child's shoulder, so that in a crash the child's upper body would have the restraint that belts provide. the If child is so small that the shoulderbelt is still very close to the child's face or neck, you might want to place the child in the center seat position, the one that has only a lap belt. 6 CAUTION: h Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the childwears the belt in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt's force would then applied right on the child's abdomen. be That couldcause serious or fatal iqjuries. 1-50
