Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured
if they don't wear
safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the
lap portion
should be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
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.
Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same way as the driver's
safety belt. See "Driver Position," earlier in this part.
When the shoulder belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it does, let it
go back all the way
and
start again.
