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 that belts provide.

CAUTION:

Never do this.

Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a

lap

-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind

the child. If the child wears the belt in this way,

in a crash the child might slide under the belt.

The belt’s force would then be applied right on

the child’s abdomen. That could cause serious or

fatal injuries.

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.
