Car seats are damaged in vehicle crashes and in many cases, the car seat
must be destroyed and replaced. However, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises that if a child restraint (car seat) has
been used in a minor crash that the child restraint can continue to be used
with your child.
For information on car seat re-use after a crash, check the NHTSA website
at: www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/childps/ChildRestraints/ReUse/RestraintReUse.htm
Damage to car seats may be difficult to see or it may be difficult to verify the
damage to the car seat. For those situations where any of the NHTSA Child
Restraint Re-use criteria has not been met, or if there is uncertainty whether
damage to the seat has occurred, NHTSA and Combi USA advise parents or
caregivers to contact their automobile insurance company regarding its policy
on replacement of seats.
DO NOT risk your child’s safety.
• DO NOT allow any re-use of this car seat after a crash unless
crash and car seat meet ALL conditions in “Re-use After A
Crash” section of this manual. Do not sell or allow others to
use a car seat that has been in a crash and does not comply
with ALL of these conditions.
