Owners Manual

A:
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?
If the child is sitting in a rear seat outside position,
move the child toward the center of the vehicle.
See Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children
and Small Adults
on page 1-25. If the child is
sitting in the center 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.
