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.
Q:
What if a child
i s
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:
If the child is sitting in a seat next to a window,
move the child toward the center of the vehicle.
If the child is sitting in the center rear seat
passenger position, move the child toward the
safety belt buckle. In either case, 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 a seat that has a lap belt,
if your vehicle has
one.
