A
CAUTION:
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.
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.
