When can I start using Koala Driving Belt – pregnancy car seat belt adjuster?
We recommend using Koala Driving Belt from when you’re two months pregnant.
Can I install Koala Driving Belt on all car seats?
Our pregnancy car seat belt is extremely versatile and designed for use on all car seats.
In fact, it can easily be installed on the front seats by using the special belt provided around the back rest or on the rear seats, by attaching the two Isofix connectors onto the Isofix system already present on the car.
See our digital
user manual for more details on installation.
Has Koala Driving Belt been tested?
It has been crash-tested in accordance with regulation ECE R16, which governs car seat belt safety standards.
The crash test confirmed that the use of our product does not affect car safety belt performance in the event of an accident.
Is Koala Driving Belt approved for use?
There are currently no standard regulatory requirements of such devices, therefore, Koala Driving Belt cannot be defined as type-approved, just as no other pregnancy seat belt adapter can be defined as type-approved.
Nevertheless, in order to guarantee the highest quality and peace of mind, we’ve subjected our product to ECE R16 regulation testing, which is responsible for seat belt safety regulations.
The crash test confirmed that Koala Driving Belt does not affect seat belt function in any way.
Is it comfortable even when wearing a skirt?
Absolutely! It is specifically designed to be used in two different ways, adapting to your look: use the central flap when wearing trousers and the two side flaps when wearing a skirt or dress.
How can I be sure I have installed the seat belt adjuster correctly?
Before using Koala Driving Belt, it must be installed correctly onto the seat by following guidance in the instruction manual, using either the belt provided or Isofix system connectors.
After attaching it to your chosen seat, sit down and fasten the three-points on your
All you have to do is choose either "trouser" or "skirt" mode.
Koala Driving Belt allows you to place the lower part of your seat belt underneath your pregnancy bump, while the upper part passes over one shoulder and diagonally across your chest (between your breasts). This keeps the seat belt away from your bump.
Is the belt made from comfortable fabric? Is it also suitable for use in summer?
Koala Driving Belt has been designed to offer maximum comfort, thanks to the choice and thickness of fabrics used.
Specifically, the material used to make the straps where the seat belt is positioned has been chosen to avoid any rubbing or irritation, especially during the summer when there is more direct contact with your skin.
