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.
