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.
To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.
The belt should go back out
of
the way.
Before
you
close the door, be sure the belt is out
of
the
way.
If
you slam the door on
it,
you can damage both the
belt and your vehicle.
A
pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and
the lap portion should be
worn
as low as possible, below
the rounding, throughout the pregnancy.
