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:
A:
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?
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.
