3. Pivot Bolts: The pivot bolts are located
on each side of the seat. The pivot bolts will
move closer to the base during a crash. There
should be about 1 inch of space between the
pivot bolt and the top of the base.(green
illustration). If the pivot bolt is located at or
near the top of the base (red illustration),
the seat has been in a crash and should be
replaced.
4. SAFE Device: The Shock Absorbing Foam
Element (SAFE) device is located on the
bottom rear part of the shell above the base.
The SAFE device will deform during a crash.
The SAFE device should be straight from side
to side (green). If the SAFE device has a crease
or cracks in it (red), the seat has been in a
crash and should be replaced.
