Hints from Heloise - Seat Belt Safety while Pregnant

By Hklbrries

Dear Readers:

-

If you are pregnant or know someone who is, what's the best and safest way to wear a seat belt? When in the car, buckling up is very important.

-

Here are recommendations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on buckling up when pregnant:

-

Put the seat as far back as it can go while still being able to reach the pedals.

-

Leave at least 10 inches between your chest and the steering wheel.

-

Place the lap belt below your belly so that it fits tightly across your hips.

-

The shoulder belt should fit across your chest between your breasts.

-

Leave air bags turned on.

-

Sit in the back seat, when possible, if you are pregnant.

-

The NHTSA also recommends installing the car seat at least three weeks before your due date. That way, you have a chance to get it inspected and aren't rushing when the baby comes.
