Nathalie Bell is a mother of five from Victoria, Australia. She owns an online shop called Personalised by Nat. Her latest addition to her shop is a seat belt cover that only costs $12.
However, within hours of posting it on her Facebook, she had received thousands of order requests and feedbacks for her product. What could be so special about it?
It turns out that the seat belt cover is designed to alert medical authorities of children with health conditions during times of emergency.

Her inspiration for this was her own daughter, she told Daily Mail.
”I always wonder what would happen if I was in a car accident with my daughter in the car and I was unable to let the doctors know that my daughter could not have an MRI due to having a cochlear implant,” speaks Natalie of her daughter’s condition.
She expressed her relief that now she does not need to worry about her daughter’s safety in case they were to encounter emergencies on the road. Her first design of the cover had the words ‘I am deaf. No MRI’ on it.
She had also created one for autistic children that read ‘I have autism. I may resist help.’

Natalie explains that the cover can be entirely customized to suit any kind of disability. The price is also very affordable, as is the installation easy. Since her post went viral, people have been flooding her inbox.
“This is an amazing idea! As a cop, I wish I could hand these out to anyone who needs them,” reads a comment.
“My husband is part of Fire and Rescue and said that this is a brilliant idea. Such a valuable piece that provides a lot of information clearly so that personnel involved can approach situations with knowledge and care,” wrote a woman.
