How To Wear A Seatbelt When You Are Pregnant

Posted November 24, 2009 in Latest News and Pregnant Drivers. by Melissa Pye

Always wear a seatbelt when you are pregnant to protect yourself and your unborn child.

Here are some tips on fitting it correctly.

1. First adjust the seat so you can reach the pedals comfortably with as much distance between your belly and the steering wheel as possible.

2. Pull the lap belt over your thighs, buckle it in and pull tight. Make sure the lap belt does not run across the belly, but lies as flat as possible under the curve.

3. Position the torso belt across your chest, between the breasts to the side of the belly and pull tight.

4. Never tuck the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back – that can hurt both you and the baby.
