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.
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.
