Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the childis so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child's face or neck? 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 provides. A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but If the child is sitting in a rear seat outside position, see Rear Safety BeltComfort Guides for Children and Small Adults on page 1-32. If the child is so small that the shoulder belt is still very close to the child's face or neck, you might want to place the child in a seat that has a lap belt, if your vehicle has one. Never do this. Here two children are wearing the same belt. The belt can't properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. belt A must be used by only one person at a time. 1-36
