WARNING

Position the seat belt correctly to protect yourself and your baby. Do not use the lap belt or the shoulder belt alone.

Pregnant women must always wear their seat belt. The lap portion of a belt passing over the shoulder and abdomen must be placed below the hips, under the belly, and be as snug as possible.

The shoulder portion of the seat belt must be positioned so that it crosses the middle of the shoulder and chest.
