CAR SEAT USE AFTER A COLLISION
UNITED STATES
The U.S. National Highway Trac Safety Administration (NHTSA)
recommends that car seats be replaced following a MODERATE
or SEVERE collision in order to ensure a continued high level of
collision protection for child passengers. In the U.S., car seats do not
automatically need to be replaced following a MINOR collision.
NHTSA denes a MINOR crash as one in which ALL of the
following apply:
• The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site.
• The vehicle door nearest the car seat was not damaged.
• None of the passengers in the vehicle sustained any injuries in
the crash.
• If the vehicle has air bags, the air bags did not deploy during
the crash; and
• There is no visible damage to the car seat.
NEVER use a car seat that has been involved in a MODERATE or
SEVERE collision.
