Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the
rear seat. But they need to use
the
safety belts properly.
Children who aren’t buckled up can be thrown
out
in
a
crash.
Children who aren’t buckled up can strike other people who are.
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.
