DO NOT risk your child’s safety.
To keep your child as safe as possible, Dorel Juvenile Group
strongly recommends replacing the car seat even after a minor
crash; even if it was not occupied at the time.
Replacement After a Minor Crash
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states
that for a crash to be considered minor
ALL
of the following
MUST be true:
• Vehicle able to drive away from the crash site;
AND
• Vehicle door nearest the car seat was not damaged;
AND
• No passengers were injured;
AND
• Airbags did not deploy;
AND
• There is no visible damage to the car seat.
If the crash your car seat was involved in meets
ALL
the
criteria, you may not need to replace the car seat.
If one or more of these criteria are not true or if you are
uncertain of any of your answers, replace the car seat
immediately.
Replacement After a Moderate to Severe Crash
You
MUST
replace this car seat if it has been in a moderate
to severe car crash.
This car seat is intended to protect a child in a single crash.
During a crash, the car seat and all of its parts absorb crash
energy which can deform or weaken it. Damage is not always
visible. A damaged car seat
MUST
be replaced immediately.
Expiration
On the side of the car seat there is a date
of manufacture label as shown.
DO NOT
use this car seat more than 8
years after the date of manufacture.
