Which seat in the car is suitable for pregnant women?
2 Answers
Pregnant women should sit in the right rear seat of the car, which is relatively safer. Here are some relevant tips for pregnant women when traveling by car: 1. Avoid pressure on the abdomen: Be careful not to put pressure on the abdomen while sitting in the car. 2. Avoid prolonged sitting: Prolonged sitting can be very uncomfortable for pregnant women, so it's advisable to take short walks and breathe fresh air during long trips. 3. Avoid noise: The outside environment is less comfortable and safe than at home due to heavy traffic and noise. Therefore, special attention should be paid to horn sounds to soothe the baby. 4. Avoid crowds: When taking buses or subways, be extra cautious. Do not rush when boarding and remember that you are a pregnant woman.
When I was pregnant, I always sat in the back seat, feeling it was the safest. When my husband drove me, I chose the middle seat or the seat behind the driver to reduce the risk of injury in case of a collision. Seat belts are also very important; adjust them properly so the strap goes over the shoulder and under the chest, leaving some slack below the belly. Early on, sitting in the front seat, the airbag startled me, and later I heard from the doctor that the force of the airbag deploying might not be good for the fetus. Now that the child is older, I still recommend the back seat—it's more spacious, comfortable for the legs and feet, and less tiring on long trips. Remember to check if the seat belt is securely fastened, drive smoothly, and avoid bumps.
