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.
