CANADA – CAR SEAT USE AFTER A COLLISION
U.S. – CAR SEAT USE AFTER A COLLISION
CANADA
• DO NOT USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF
IT HAS BEEN IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
•
Transport Canada designates that
you MUST
replace this child restraint if it has been involved
in a collision,
even if you cannot see visible
damage. A damaged child restraint may not
protect your child in a future 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.
