The Bump Belt: Making Seat Belts Safer During Pregnancy

The Dreambaby Bump Belt helps pregnant women protect their unborn baby while riding in the car. The Bump Belt is designed to prevent the lap strap from riding up onto the abdomen.

Whether as a driver or passenger, sudden braking or low speed impacts can propel an adult forward with great force. At such a time, the seat belt can exert extreme pressure again the abdomen, which in the case of a pregnant woman, the uterus and unborn baby can he harmed causing injury or even miscarriage.

Tests conducted at the Qinetiq Centre for Human Sciences Impact Test Facility have demonstrated that the Bump Belt is effective in encouraging mothers-to-be to position and maintain the lap portion over the hips rather than the abdomen. They have also tested that it is effective without affecting the structural integrity of the seat belt.
