U.S. – CAR SEAT USE AFTER A COLLISION
UNITED STATES
The U.S. National Highway Traffic 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.
Car seats do not automatically need to be replaced following a MINOR
collision. NHTSA defines a MINOR collision as ALL of the following:
• The vehicle was able to be driven away from the collision site; AND
• The vehicle door nearest the car seat was not damaged; AND
• No vehicle occupants were injured; AND
There is no visible damage to the car seat; AND
•
• The airbags (if present) did not deploy.
NEVER use a car seat that has been involved in a MODERATE or
SEVERE collision.
