Read before your next drive
Your seatbelt was built for a 150-pound adult. Not your baby.
Every hard brake drives the lap belt directly into your bump. Car manufacturers know this. Nobody tells you. Over 170,000 pregnant women are in car accidents every year.
Take a look at this scan, very carefully:
These are the CT scans of a 37-year-old mother. 24 weeks pregnant.
Cause of baby's death... her seatbelt.
The lap belt pressed across her belly during a collision at just 31 mph. CT scans confirmed placental lacerations exactly where the belt crossed her bump.
Because when a pregnant woman is in a crash, the standard seatbelt becomes the danger.
Her story is heartbreaking. But here is what you can do before your next drive to make sure it never happens to you.

Crash Tested
Tested. Not just promised.
BumpGuard has been crash-tested to verify correct belt repositioning under real impact conditions. The lap belt stays below the bump — exactly where it needs to be.
The mechanism
What happens to your baby when you brake hard
Sudden stop
The lap belt locks and drives forward across your abdomen — not your hips, directly onto your bump.
Blunt force
The uterus absorbs impact the seatbelt was never designed to distribute safely during pregnancy.
Placental abruption
The leading cause of pregnancy loss in car accidents. It can happen in low-speed collisions.
The fastest paramedic response time in urban areas is 7 minutes. Placental abruption begins in seconds. By the time help arrives, the damage is done.
She was rear-ended at 34 weeks. Her doctor said it would have been different.
I insisted we get one when my wife was pregnant. She got into a car accident at 34 weeks and the doctors strongly suggested the outcome would have been completely different had she not been wearing it. Happy to say we had a healthy baby.
Someone ran a red light and smashed into my car. I am 21 weeks pregnant. My doctor said I likely would have lost my baby if it weren't for this device. You saved my baby boy.
I was in a rollover accident at 7 months pregnant. Thanks to this product our baby was saved. This should be advertised as much as a baby car seat.
