[quote=Anonymous]NHTSA Position NHTSA recommends that child safety seats be replaced following a moderate or severe crash in order to ensure a continued high level of crash protection for child passengers. NHTSA recommends that child safety seats do not automatically need to be replaced following a minor crash. Minor crashes are those that meet ALL of the following criteria: The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site; The vehicle door nearest the safety seat was undamaged; There were no injuries to any of the vehicle occupants; The air bags (if present) did not deploy; AND There is no visible damage to the safety seat Clarifying the need for child seat replacement will reduce the number of children unnecessarily riding without a child safety seat while a replacement seat is being acquired, and the number of children who will have to ride without a child seat if a seat were discarded and not replaced. The clarification will also reduce the financial burden of unnecessary replacement. http://www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/childps/childrestraints/reuse/restraintreuse.htm [/quote]
