Seat Belts and Pregnant Women

Seat belts must be worn by all occupants, including pregnant women. The risk of injury in a crash is reduced for both the mother and the unborn child when they are wearing seat belts.

Position the lap belt snugly and low, across the strong bones of the hips, under the abdomen. Place the shoulder belt across the chest and away from the neck. Never place the shoulder belt behind the back or under the arm.
