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.
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 fxe or neck, you might
want to place the child
in
the center seat position,
the one that has
only
a
lap
belt.
