- Number one choice by obstetricians and safety experts, it’s the ONLY seatbelt for pregnant moms that actually protects unborn baby in the event of a crash, AND is easy to use and transfer from seat to seat.
- When it comes to safety, you get what you pay for. Pregnancy seat belt adjusters are not federally regulated yet. PUT YOUR BABY’S SAFETY in a product that has gone above and beyond to prove its performance in a crash. Tummy Shield is crash tested to ensure the seat belt still works properly and labatory tested to be at least as strong as the seat belt, being able to bear 5,170 pounds (23kN) per US seat belt safety standards (FMVSS 209).
- Patented engineered design makes driving while pregnant comfortable as the baby bump grows by securing the lap belt at the upper leg, not the belly or hips where it can crush your unborn baby. Stainless steel hook construction attaches securely to the car seat and holds the belt firmly in place without any slippage or dangerous slack. Seat belt still complies with current safety standards. Hundreds of extensive successful tests prove safer for Mommy and Baby than just using the seatbelt alone.
- Extremely effective for anyone having had abdominal or stomach surgery, caesarean section, medical ports or procedures to the midsection – reduces discomfort and pain safely.
- More than 170,000 pregnant women are involved in car accidents every year, resulting in thousands of lost pregnancies. The existing system was not designed or tested to protect women who are in a vehicle while expecting; in fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the current restraining device exposes an inherent risk for injury, or even death, to a fetus.
This vital safety product should be on top of your maternity shopping list.
”Automobile crashes are the largest single cause of death for pregnant women and the leading cause of traumatic fetal injury mortality in the United States.”—U.S. National Library of Medicine

DO PREGNANT WOMEN REALLY NEED A SPECIAL SEATBELT?
Yes! More than 170,000 pregnant women are involved in car crashes a year, resulting in thousands of lost pregnancies. The existing seat belt system was not designed or tested to protect pregnant women. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the current seat belt system exposes an inherent risk for injury, even death, to an unborn baby.
HOW DOES TUMMY SHIELD PROTECT MY UNBORN BABY?
Heavy stainless steel construction ensures Tummy Shield will not crack or break upon impact. Patented hook design secures the seat belt on leg instead of across low belly where it can crush your unborn baby. Prevents submarining.
