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
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s safety
belt properly, see
Driver
Position
on
page
7-28.
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt
-
except for one thing.
If
the belt stops before
it
reaches the buckle, tilt the latch
plate and keep pulling until you can buckle the belt.
