Protecting Adults

Advice for Pregnant Women

Because protecting the mother is the

best way to protect her unborn child,

a pregnant woman should always

wear a seat belt whenever she drives

or rides in a car.

Remember to keep the lap portion of

the belt as low as possible across

your hips.

Pregnant women should also sit

upright and as far back as possible

from the steering wheel or

dashboard. This will reduce the risk

of injuries to both the mother and

her unborn child that can be caused

by a crash or an inflating airbag.

Each time you have a check-up, ask

your doctor if it's okay for you to

drive.

Additional Safety Precautions

Two people should never use the

same seat belt.

If they do, they

could be very seriously injured in a

crash.

Do not put any accessories on seat

belts.

Devices intended to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the

shoulder part of a seat belt can

severely compromise the

protective capability of the seat

belt and increase the chance of

serious injury in a crash.
