Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way. The diagonal section should
wrap over the shoulder then be routed
between the breasts and to the side of the
belly. The lap section should lay flat over the
thighs and as low as possible under the belly.
It must never be allowed to ride upward.
Remove all slack from the belt and ensure
that it fits close to the body without any
twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of
the vehicle as they drive (which means they
must be able to easily operate the foot ped-
als and steering wheel). Within this context,
18
they should strive to position the seat with as
large a distance as possible between their
belly and the steering wheel.
Child seats
Please refer to page 34 for information on
securing child seats with the seat belts.
