Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained
in
the rear seat. But they need to
use
the
safety belts properly.
Children who aren’t buckled up
can
be thrown out
in
a
crash.

CAUTION:
I
Ne!!! 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.

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.
