CAUTION:

Never do this.

Here two children are wearing the same belt.
The belt can’t 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.
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 sitting in a rear seat position, see
Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and
Small Adults
on page 1-23.
