A
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.
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.
