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.

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.
