UNITED STATES
The U.S. National Highway Traffi 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.
Car seats do not automatically need to be replaced
following a
MINOR

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;
