Q: What if a childis wearing a lapshoulder belt, but the child so is small that the shoulder beltis 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 stillis on the child's shoulder, so that in a crash the child's upper body would havethe restraint that belts provide. If the child is so small that theshoulder belt is still very close thechild's to face or neck, you might want to place the child in the center seat position, the one that has only a lap belt. SeeRear Seat 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 beltforce to the child's pelvic bones in a crash.
