Description for BeSafe Pregnancy Belt Adapter
BeSafe Pregnancy Seatbelt Adapter - One Adapter, Two Lives
Just found out you're pregnant? Among all the things you're thinking about, car safety should be one of them. In the event of sudden braking or a collision, a standard seatbelt can press against your bump and baby.
The BeSafe Pregnancy Seatbelt Adapter repositions the lap belt below your bump so it sits safely across your pelvis. This gives you greater comfort while driving and protects both you and your unborn baby. Enjoy your pregnancy without unnecessary worries.
The BeSafe adapter provides proper protection for both mother and unborn child when wearing a seatbelt. By keeping the lap belt below the bump, the adapter should be used from the 2nd month of pregnancy, as it reduces the risk of placental abruption or miscarriage in the event of sudden braking or a car accident. It also makes driving far more comfortable, since the belt no longer presses against your abdomen.
The BeSafe Pregnancy Seatbelt Adapter is compatible with any car equipped with a 3-point seatbelt system.
Correct positioning is vital for the safety of both mother and baby. It ensures the lap belt does not press on the lower abdomen and prevents "submarining" — when the occupant slides forward under the lap belt during a frontal collision.

- The tension of a standard seatbelt during a crash can put pressure on the placenta and foetus, potentially causing injury. The BeSafe adapter redirects the belt below the lower abdomen, transferring the force to the pelvis — safe for both mother and baby.
- The BeSafe adapter should be used from the very start of pregnancy, as it reduces the risk of placental abruption or miscarriage in the event of sudden braking or a car accident.
- Pregnant women find driving far more comfortable when the seatbelt does not press against the bump.
