The best way to protect the fetus is to protectthe mother. When a safety
belt is worn properly, it's more -likely that the fetus won't be hurt
in a
crash. For. pregnant women, as. for anyone, the key
to making safety belts
effective is weariog them properly.
RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same way as the driver's
safety belt. See."Driver .Position," earlier
in this part.
When the lap portion of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If.it
does, let it.go
back all theway and start again.

The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs.
In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic
bones. And you'd be less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid
under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.
This muld cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over
the
shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to
take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there's a sudden stop or a crash, or if you pull it
very quickly out
of the retractor.
