Which CPR pad do you use for a child when pediatric pads are not available?

It is not recommended that child pads be used on an adult; but it appears in the latest ECC 2010 conference there is leeway in using adult pads on children. If child pads are used on an adult (if for example no other pads are available nor will be available for a period of time I would use them on an adult..... what choice, in reality, would I have?) they would be placed in the same location; upper right on chest and lower left on the ribs.
