The lap belt should be worn snugly and as low as possible over the
hips. The shoulder belt should be worn across your shoulder, but
never across the stomach area. When worn properly, the seat belt
will protect both the mother and the foetus in an accident or
emergency stop.
A pregnant woman should never wear the seat belt across the
stomach area. This could lead to serious injuries to the foetus
and/or the pregnant mother.
Never wear twisted seat belts. Excessive forces will be
transferred from the belt to the wearer, in a collision, resulting
in serious personal injury.
Each seat belt is meant for use by one person only. Using one
seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. The
seat belt will not be able to spread the impact forces properly
leading to serious injuries.
Never put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's
lap. This could lead to serious injuries.
