Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they don't wear safety belts. The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When asafety 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. Right Front Passenger Position The right front passenger's safety belt works thesame way as the driver's safety belt. See "Driver Position," earlier in this section. When the lap portion of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. Ifit does, let it go back all the way and start again. A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be wornas low as possible, below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy. 1-26
