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.
