Accident statistics show that children are safer they are restrained in the if rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts properly. Children who aren't buckled up can be thrown out in a crash. 0 Children who aren't buckled up can strike other people who are. Q: What if a child is wearinga lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child's face or neck? A: 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. 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. 1-40
