Summary

Car seat safety actually starts during pregnancy. In this episode we review some history of women and the seat belt, how it functions and possible risks of driving to the pregnancy. We also recommend using the Tummy Shield, which we lovingly call Baby's First Car Seat™.

Episode Description

On episode 3 we talk about driving during pregnancy. Women are driving many more miles now compared to when seat belts were designed for the average-sized male back in the 1960s. This means that the risks of driving during pregnancy have increased over time as well. How often are pregnant women in car crashes? And what are the potential results of those crashes? We answer those questions in this podcast.
