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:

If the child is seated in a rear outside seat position,
move the child toward the center of the vehicle.
See Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children
and Small Adults
on page 1-29. If the child is
sitting in the second row center seat position, move
the child toward the safety belt buckle. In either
case, 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.
