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:
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:
If the child is sitting in a seat next to a window,
move the child toward the center
of
the vehicle.
If the child
is
sitting in the center rear seat
passenger position, move the child toward the
safety belt buckle. In either case, 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
