"We would be talking about the importance on how moms should wear her safety belt in the vehicle. So what we want you to do we want you to lift your little son up like this, we want you to pull right here through the latch plate like that. pull it nice and snugged down on your hips really tight, then we are going to put the baby back down and then we are going to keep it across your shoulders like that and you want to always keep this nice and snugged on your hips. That way the baby is completely open and there is no belt and it won't push there. The second thing is we want to make sure that her air bag is not directly directed to her tummy if she doesn't have a full 10 inches of difference. Some vehicles are very big and you have very long legs but you don't have long legs so the chances are that you air bag would go right into your tummy, right into your son. So what we want to do is make sure that the air bag is angle up slightly so the impact is not directly on the baby. Okay and that is how moms should where there belt when they are pregnant."
