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.
