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 do not wear
safety belts.
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.
The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that the fetus will not be hurt
in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone,
the key to making safety belts effective is wearing
them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s
safety belt properly, see
Driver Position on
page 26 .
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the
same way as the driver’s safety belt. If your vehicle
has a static seat in this position and if you ever
pull the shoulder portion of the belt out all the
way, you will engage the child restraint locking
feature. If this happens, just let the belt go back
all the way and start again.
