Here two children are wearing the same belt.
The belt can’t properly spread the impact
forces.
In
a crash, the two children can
becrushed together and seriously injured.

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 the belt provides.
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 a seat that has a lap
belt,
if
your vehicle has one.
