Q. 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 still is on the child's
shoulder, so that in a crash the child's
upper body would have the restraint

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.
