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.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s safety
belt properly, see
Driver Position
on
page
1-13.
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.
If
this happens, just let the belt go back all
the way and start again.
Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle
up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the
rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than those
who are wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out
of
the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others in
the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
