Q:
What if a child is wearing a lapshoulder 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 sitting in a rear outside position of a four-door model, 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.
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 belt force to
the child's pelvic bones in a crash.
