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:
l Vehicle able to drive away from the crash site;
AND
l Vehicle door nearest the car seat was not
damaged; AND
l No passengers were injured; AND
l Airbags did not deploy; AND
l 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.
Replacement & Expiration of 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.
On the bottom of the child
restraint there is a date of
manufacture label as shown.
Do not use this child restraint
more than 10 years after the
date of manufacture.
