Car Seat Use after a Crash
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends that car seats be replaced
following a moderate or severe crash. Car seats do
not automatically need to be replaced following a
minor crash.
What defines a minor crash?
A minor crash is 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, none of the air bags
deployed 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 to severe crash. Contact Nuna with
questions or concerns about your seat.

Vehicle Compatibility
You MUST read and understand ALL child restraint
related instructions and warnings in your vehicle
owner’s manual to correctly and safely use this
child restraint in your vehicle.
This child restraint can ONLY be installed on
vehicle seats that face forward. DO NOT install in
seats that face to the sides or rear of the vehicle.
NEVER install this child restraint rear facing in a
vehicle seating position with a frontal air bag unless
it is turned off. Airbags inflate with great force and
can cause severe injury to a child’s neck and spine.
If your vehicle is equipped with passenger side air
bags, check your vehicle owner’s manual for child
restraint installation instructions.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions.
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual to determine
if the belts in your vehicle lock by switching the
seat belt’s retractor OR if they have a locking latch
plate that locks the vehicle’s seat belt so they will
hold the child restraint tightly without loosening.
