window
so the child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.
Accident statistics show that children are safer
if they
are restrained
in the rear seat. But they need to use the
safety belts properly.

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.
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 the center seat position, the one
that has only a
lap belt.

Never do this.
Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a
lap-shoulder belt., but the shoulder part is behind
the child.
If the child wears the belt in this way, in
a crash the child might slide under the belt. The
belt's force would then be applied right on the
child's abdomen. That could cause serious
or
fatal injuries.
Wherever the child sits, the
lap portion of the belt
should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching
the child's thighs. This applies belt force to the child's
pelvic bones in
a crash.
