“Should a woman wear a safety belt while she is pregnant?” The answer is simple: Yes, in conjunction with a specialist product like the Preggy Protector™.

This will ensure the safety of the unborn child should sudden braking or a low speed collision occur. The Preggy Protector™ is simple to install in any motor vehicle and is easily moved between driver and passenger seats.

Why wear the Preggy Protector™?

unborn babies is to wear the safety belt correctly. Wearing a safety belt with the Preggy Protector™ ensures that the lap strap will not slip or move up onto the pregnant stomach. Many pregnant women are either drivers or passengers in a motor vehicle on a daily basis travelling on the world’s busy roads. In South Africa alone there are 620 000 automobile collisions per year (1 698 per day). A collision occurs every 4 seconds.(source: drivealive.org.za)
