CAUTION:

Never do this.

Here two children are wearing the same
belt. The belt can not 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:

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
seat that has a lap belt, if your vehicle
has one.
