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  provi\
de. 
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.
