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.
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.
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.
