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 the center seat
position, the one that has only a lap
belt. See
Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides
in the
Index.
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.
