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.

Also see Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides on

page 1-28. 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 the belts provide.

{CAUTION:

Never do this.

Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a

lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is

behind the child. If the child wears the belt in

this way, in a crash the child might slide under

the belt. The belt’s force would then be applied

right on the child’s abdomen. That could cause

serious or fatal injuries.

Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt

should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching

the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’s

pelvic bones in a crash.

Infants and Young Children

Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes

infants and all other children. Neither the distance

traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes

the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.

In fact, the law in every state in the United States

and in every Canadian province says children up to

some age must be restrained while in a vehicle.
