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-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 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.
