Abstract

<p> To the best of our knowledge, only few reports have evaluated systematic attempts to improve the rate of always seatbelt use or the rate of always infant car-seat use by mothers driving infants. We had got some important information as following,</p><p> 1）The careful attitude of pregnant women toward safety in the car（always using a seatbelt and preferring the rear seat）may be associated with reduced risk of motor vehicle accidents in pregnancy.</p><p> 2）The minimal intervention via the distribution of an educational seat belt leaflet provided in the early pregnancy was effective in raising the rate of consistent seat belt use during pregnancy, but it did not decrease the rate of motor vehicle accidents.</p><p> 3）Antepartum minimal intervention via the distribution of an educational leaflet recommending the infant carseat safety guidelines was associated with increased rates of always infant car-seat use; however, it did not contribute to reduced motor vehicle accidents rates after delivery.</p><p> Thus, we should promote more extensively among pregnant women to decrease rates of pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality from motor vehicle accidents.</p>
