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. A belt must be used by only one
person at a time.

What if a child is wearing a 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
s m a U
that the shoulder belt still is 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.
