INSAFE Pregnancy Seatbelt Adapter Pregnancy is one of the most exciting periods in a woman's life. And when it comes to car travel, it is important to ensure not only comfort...
The INSAFE Seat-Belt Guide is designed to improve safety for expectant mothers and their developing fetuses. By redirecting the lap belt from the belly to the hips and groin, this guide ensures that the force of an accident is not directly exerted on the fetus. This reduces the risk of injuries such as placental abruption, which can result from the strong and rapid pressure of a seat belt on the belly. Additionally, the INSAFE Seat-Belt Guide converts standard 3-point seat belts into a 4-point system, further enhancing safety for expectant mothers and their unborn babies.
Unlike other adapters that rely on uncertain strength of burrs and press studs to hold the belt on the underbelly and hips, the INSAFE offers a unique solution that allows the seat belt to be lowered below the belly, redirecting the possible contact force to the iliac spines and groin. This feature provides better protection for an unborn child during car travel, which is demonstrated in a computer simulation of a head-on collision using a digital model of a pregnant woman.
In addition to safety, the INSAFE adapter offers comfort as well. It prevents the seat belt from sliding up to the middle of the abdomen and chest, thereby preventing the dangerous phenomenon of “diving” during a collision. The expectant mother can drive comfortably without the need for repeated adjustments of the seat belt.
The INSAFE device was subjected to quality tests at the prototype stage and as a finished product by the FITI Testing & Research Institute in Seoul. These tests ensure that the materials used to make the device are of the highest quality, making the INSAFE a reliable and effective solution for expectant mothers.
The expectant mother can drive a car comfortably

Small, easily fits in a bag
Made from high-quality materials. The adapter was designed and made in South Korea
The INSAFE Seat-Belt Guide is a premium product developed by Korean engineers and manufactured entirely in South Korea, renowned for its advanced technology. Constructed from durable 6.4mm thick stainless steel, the adapter is coated with a non-toxic soft material and features smooth edges to prevent clothing from snagging.
The adapter's lime color was chosen purposefully based on analyses that demonstrated its pleasantness to the eye and high visibility, which is crucial during rescues and extrications. In the event of an accident, rescuers need to quickly identify and release a woman secured with the seat belt adapter, and the INSAFE meets both of these requirements with ease.
