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: 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 so
small that the shoulder belt is still very
close to the child’s face or neck, you
might want to place the child in a sea-t
that has a lap belt, if your vehicle has
one.
