If you have ever been driving and had to come to an abrupt stop, or even worse, been in an accident, you know that your seat belt will suddenly lock to hold you tightly in place so you dont fly forward. Unfortunately, one of the places you would feel this the most is right across your belly, so it stands to reason that any cautious mother-to-be would have concerns about her unborn child being jolted against a locked seat belt strap. This is apparently the thinking behind the invention of the Tummy Shield. The Shield is a comfortable, foam-filled seat that redirects the traditional tummy strap to instead keep you safe by lying over and between your thighs. Imagine a climbing harness and you’ll get the idea. Expectant mothers told us it was a thousand times more comfortable and makes you feel considerably more secure whether you’re a driver or a passenger. It is made of high-quality materials and is meant to last. It does take some maneuvering and adjusting to figure it out the first time. A $149 price tag is not insignificant, but our reviewers told us that the peace of mind it gave them made it worth the investment.
