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.
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.
