The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt
is
worn properly, it's more
likely that the fetus won't be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.

Center Passenger Position
Lap Belt
If your vehicle
has
front and rear bench seats, someone
