The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the 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 wearing them properly. Center Passenger Position Right Front Passenger Position To learn how to wear the right front passenger's safety belt properly, see Driver Position on page 1-28. The right front passenger's safety belt works the same way as the driver's safety belt-except for one thing. If you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out all the way, you will engage the child restraint locking feature which may turn off the passenger's frontal air bag. If this happens unintentionally, just let the belt go back all the way and start again. If your vehicle has front and rear bench seats, someone can sit in the center positions. When you sit in the center seating position in the second row you have a lap-shoulder belt which is similar to the rear outside seating positions. To learn how to wear this belt see "Lap-Shoulder Belt" under RearSeat Passengers on page 1-38. 1-36
