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. In the U.S., car seats do not automatically need to be replaced following a MINOR collision.
NHTSA defines a MINOR crash as one in which ALL of the following apply: the vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site, the vehicle door nearest the car seat was not damaged, none of the passengers in the vehicle sustained any injuries in the crash if the vehicle has air bags, the air bags did not deploy during the crash; and there is no visible damage to the car seat. NEVER use a car seat that has been involved in a MODERATE or SEVERE collision.
We hope everyone is recovering from the crash and there were no serious injuries. If the car seat that was involved in a crash was one a Diono® car seat, please reach out to Customer Support by clicking here.
