WARNING
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
• 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 it does not comply with ALL of these conditions.
Section 11 - Re-use After A Crash
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.dot.gov/people/injury/childps, select “Child Restraint Re-use After Minor Crashes”
and then “NHTSA Position”.
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.
