Never do
this.'
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 sti€l,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.
