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 vehicle.

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.
