DreamBaby Bump Belt

DreamBaby® launches the new 'Bump Belt™' to help protect unborn babies while in the car.

Whether you're a driver or a passenger, if you're forced to break suddenly or you experience even a low speed impact, you can be pushed forward with surprising force. This is a problem for anyone but if you're pregnant it's doubly dangerous because a seat belt can exert extreme pressure against the abdomen, potentially damaging the uterus and resulting in injury and even miscarriage.

Accident statistics confirm that unborn children can be harmed when the seat belt is positioned incorrectly over the mother's abdomen. Throughout the world it is now standard practice for obstetricians and GPs to advise pregnant women to wear seatbelts under their 'bumps' rather than across their abdomens which is why Dreambaby® has designed the new Bump Belt™ to prevent the lap strap from riding up onto the abdomen, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the unborn child.

Furthermore tests conducted at the Qinetiq Centre for Human Sciences Impact Test Facility have demonstrated that the Bump Belt™ is:
Effective in encouraging Mothers to position and maintain the lap portion over the hips rather than the abdomen.
Effective without affecting the structural integrity of the seat belt.

The new Dreambaby® Bump Belt™ is suitable for use for expecting mothers from two months pregnant right until the baby is born. "It's about providing a bit more peace of mind," explained Carolyn Ziegler, co-founder and Product Development Director at Dreambaby®. Everybody who has ever been pregnant knows it's an anxious time. The Dreambaby® Bump Belt™ has been developed to provide mums-to-be mothers with a bit more security so that they can enjoy their pregnancy to the fullest. It's such a special time."
