Never do this. Here twochildren are wearing the same belt. The belt can't properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can becrushed together and seriously injured. A belt must be used by only oneperson at a time. Q: What if a child is wearinga lap-shoulder belt, but the child isso small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child's face or neck? 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 sitting in a rear seat outside position, see "Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides" in the Index. 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. A: 1-87
