CAUTION:
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.
Q:
What if a child is wearing a lap
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 seat outside position,
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 the center seat
position, the one that has only a lap belt.
