Additional Seat Belt Safety 
Precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used 
during pregnancy. The best way to 
protect your unborn child is to protect 
yourself by always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear 
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the 
shoulder belt across your chest, routed 
between your breasts and away from 
your neck. Place the lap belt below your 
belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your 
hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded 
part of the belly.
 WARNING
ś A pregnant woman or a patient is 
more vulnerable to any impacts on 
the abdomen during an abrupt stop 
or accident. If you are in an accident 
while pregnant, consult your doctor.
ś To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death to an unborn child during an 
accident, pregnant women should 
NEVER place the lap portion of the 
seat belt above or over the area of 
the abdomen where the unborn child 
is located.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint 
System laws which require children to 
travel in approved Child Restraint System 
devices, including booster seats. The age 
at which seat belts can be used instead 
of Child Restraint System differs among 
countries, so you should be aware of the 
specific requirements in your country, 
and where you are travelling. Infant and 
Child Restraint System must be properly 
placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child 
Restraint Systems” section in this 
chapter.
