Q:
What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so
r
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 the center seat
position, the one that has only a lap belt.
