Protecting Adults
Sitting improperly or out of
position can result in serious
injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright, well back
in the seat, with your feet on
the floor.
Remember, to get the best
protection from your car's airbags
and other safety features, you must
sit properly and wear your seat belt
properly.

Advice for Pregnant Women

Because protecting the mother is the
best way to protect her unborn child,
a pregnant woman should always
wear a seat belt whenever she drives
or rides in a car.
Remember to keep the lap portion of
the belt as low as possible across
your hips.
Pregnant women should also sit
upright and as far back as possible
from the steering wheel or
dashboard. This will reduce the risk
of injuries to both the mother and
her unborn child that can be caused
by a crash or an inflating airbag.
Each time you have a check-up, ask
your doctor if it's okay for you to
drive.
