Everyone knows what a car seat for children is. But this little-seen safety object is for the expecting parent before the car seat is needed.
“INSAFE Seat-Belt Guide redirects the lap belt away from the belly of a pregnant woman. It eliminates the danger of putting too much pressure on the belly in the case of sudden braking or traffic accident. Using the INSAFE adapter reduces the risk of the unborn child’s injury in the case of a car accident.”
“INSAFE prevents the belt’s tendency of sliding up, to the middle part of the abdomen and further to the chest, therefore, it prevents a dangerous phenomenon of so-called ‘diving’ during a collision, which is slipping underneath the lap belt.”
“While using the adapter, the seat belt does not press the belly and it is not necessary to adjust it repeatedly, which provides the expectant mother with comfortable driving. The adapter is recommended from 2-3 months of pregnancy or if it is noticeable until the end of pregnancy.”
These run €32.50 (USD $35) in Europe. The only U.S. retailer I could find is asking for a whopping $125!
