"There's a difference between "unregulated" and "unsafe." I am the {CPS} tech who test-drove it in my most recent pregnancy. I really did like it. .... Sadly, we don't have any standards to test these products against so it's up to the consumer to make the best guess she can. But the fact is seat belts don't have to pass any pregnancy-related safety standards either so NOT using the Tummy Shield is just as much of a judgment call."

How Does the Tummy Shield Protect My Unborn Baby?
Why do pregnant women need Tummy Shield?
-
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.â â U.S. National Library of Medicine
- About 170,000 pregnant women experience car crashes every year.
- An estimated 3,000 pregnancies are lost from car crashes every year (thatâs about 8 a day and may be a conservative estimate).
- Comparatively speaking thatâs 86 times the number of children who are lost in hot car deaths and 39 times the number of infants who are fatally injured in car crashes.
-
You see, the existing seat belt system was not designed or tested to protect women who are driving while pregnant. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's old website, the current seat belt system exposes an inherent risk for injury, or even death, to an unborn baby.
This is because the standard seat belt is designed to secure an occupant in the car seat by engaging the hip bones. However, beginning at the start of the second trimester, your unborn baby moves above and in front of your hip bones â directly beneath the seat belt. When engaged by an accident, or even a sudden stop, the belt compresses with extreme speed and force, violently displacing and even crushing your unborn baby.
