Tummy Shield® - The only crash-tested pregnancy seatbelt - Monthly Hire
Tummy Shield® is in a class of its own, the only crash-tested pregnancy seatbelt proven under global safety standards. By redirecting the lap belt onto your hips and upper thighs, it removes dangerous pressure from your bump. The result? More comfort, more confidence, and peace of mind knowing you’re protected by reinforced steel and real crash test results.
The only pregnancy seatbelt crash-tested to global safety standards.
Tummy Shield® is in a class of its own. Unlike cheaper alternatives that only claim safety, Tummy Shield® has been independently tested to the same rigorous standards used for seatbelts and airbags.
- Crash-tested under real accident conditions: proven safe at up to 49 km/h and 28 g forces.
- Steel as strong as a seatbelt anchor: stainless steel core withstood over 22 kN of force.
- No failures, no breakages: in every test with male and female crash test dummies, the device held strong and kept the belt correctly positioned.
- Certified to recognised international standards: meeting the requirements of the Australian Design Rules (ADR), which align with global automotive safety protocols.
Would you trust a cheap car seat to keep you safe? Then don’t trust a cheap seatbelt device. Paying more isn’t expensive, it’s peace of mind.
“The only pregnancy seatbelt tested to be at least as strong as a seatbelt itself.”
Why standard seatbelts aren’t enough during pregnancy
Seatbelts save lives… but they were never designed or tested for pregnancy.
- Car crashes are the leading cause of trauma-related fetal death.
- Studies show that up to 70% of pregnant women wear seatbelts incorrectly, placing the lap belt across the belly instead of low across the hips.
- Wearing the belt over your abdomen increases the risk of placental abruption by up to 70%, a life-threatening condition for both mother and baby.
- Even in minor collisions, the belt can exert thousands of kilograms of force directly onto the uterus.
Tummy Shield® changes this. By redirecting the lap belt safely onto the hips and upper thighs, the strongest bones in the body, it reduces dangerous pressure on your abdomen and keeps both you and your baby safer in every drive.

FAQs
Is Tummy Shield® legal?
Yes. Tummy Shield® is fully compliant with seatbelt laws. It doesn’t replace or alter the seatbelt — it simply repositions the lap belt safely across your hips. This means you remain properly restrained at all times while reducing the risk of seatbelt pressure on your abdomen.
It is also compliant with all ADR, EU and US seatbelt safety regulations.
Has Tummy Shield® been independently tested?
Yes. Tummy Shield® has undergone dynamic crash tests at an accredited automotive safety lab and met the requirements of global-grade safety protocols. It was tested with male and female crash test dummies, under the same conditions used to test seatbelts and airbags. The results showed no failures, no breakages, and proven protection.

Why does Tummy Shield® cost more than other seatbelt devices?
Tummy Shield® is built differently. It’s the only pregnancy seatbelt that has been independently crash-tested to global safety standards. Made from hardened stainless steel, it has been proven to withstand the same extreme forces as a seatbelt anchorage. Cheaper plastic devices may look similar, but they haven’t been tested or certified to this degree.
When safety is at stake, paying more isn’t expensive, it’s essential for peace of mind.
Does Tummy Shield® work in any car?
Yes. Tummy Shield® works with the existing seatbelt system in almost every make and model of car worldwide. It installs in minutes and can be easily moved between vehicles or seats when needed.
Is Tummy Shield® suitable for other medical conditions?
While primarily designed for expectant mums, the Tummy Shield® seatbelt positioner can also be used to protect your abdomen while you recover from a range of medical procedures.
These include:
- Caesarean
- Hernia removal
- Hysterectomy
- Hernia surgery
- Gastric bypass
- Lap band surgery
- Ileostomy
- Gallbladder surgery
- Tummy tuck
How easy is it to install?
Installation is simple, it takes just a few minutes the first time. After that, clipping in is as quick as buckling your seatbelt. Tummy Shield® can also be removed and reinstalled in another car with ease
When should I start using Tummy Shield®?
You can use Tummy Shield® as soon as you start wearing a seatbelt during pregnancy. Many women begin in the second trimester, when the bump starts to grow and standard seatbelts become uncomfortable. It can be used throughout the rest of pregnancy and beyond.
What about crashes at higher speeds, does Tummy Shield still work?
Tummy Shield was tested at 49 km/h, which is the global crash-test standard used for seatbelts, airbags, and car seats. This isn’t a limitation of the device — it’s the benchmark regulators worldwide use to prove a product is safe. Most crashes occur at or below this speed, and in higher-speed collisions, survival depends on the entire car structure. By meeting this standard, Tummy Shield has been proven to perform at least as well as the seatbelt itself under the toughest recognised test conditions.
What matters most is that Tummy Shield is the only pregnancy seatbelt tested to this degree, proven under the same conditions as the safety systems we all rely on. That means you can trust it to perform at least as well as the seatbelt itself under the toughest recognised test conditions.
Is the Tummy Shield® backed by a guarantee?
Yes. Tummy Shield® is backed by a full guarantee for your peace of mind.
