Hi! I wanted to ask you girl how did you find a journey back home in a car. My husband will be driving me there and back. I am most worried about the seat belt as it obviously goes between your boobs. How did you guys manage it or did you just wear the lower part on belly and put the upper chest part behind your back? Is it still safe? I am not sure how to go about it haha and trying it on a car seat for different ways of fastening 😀
Any advice? Or did you just had it normally fastened?

Hi Hun I just had it over my lap part it was a 2 hour journey for me to Preston I didn’t find the journey home that uncomfortable in all fairness tho it was a big tender over a couple of speed bumps but nothing to bad for me but obvs everyone is different and everyone’s pain will be different two xxx

@chloemsx how did you do that with v pillow? I cant imagine how it would work?

@staceymlx lap part do you mean just the belly part? what did you do with the chest part?

I used a regular pillow across my front resting my boobs on top then did the seat belt up, resting my elbow on the chest strap. V pillow sounds a fab idea wish I had thought of that one, best advice go and sit in the car and have a play around.

Yes v pillow! My friend drove me home and I had to shout at her for braking late! You feel every bump in the road so slow and steady coming home. I didn’t have any pain from the belt with the pillow over x
