Q:
What
if
,ab
child
.$,
.
.
:
.

is
wearing
a

A:
Move the child

a crash the
child’s
upper
body would have the
restraint
that belts
provide. 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
the center seat
position, the one that has
only a lap
belt. See
Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides
in the
Index.
Wherever the child sits,
the
lap
portion
of the belt
should
be worn low
and
snug
on
the hips, just touching the child’s
thighs.
This
applies
belt
force
to the
child’s pelvic bones in
a
crash.
