&.'
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?

Move the child toward
the
center

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
