Child Restraint Re-use After Minor Crashes

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children, due in large part to the non-use or improper use of child safety seats and seat belts. Child safety seats and booster seats save lives. They offer the absolute best protection for children in the event of a crash.

Always read and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for your child’s safety seat. Some manufacturers always recommend that a child safety seat be replaced after any crash. Contact the manufacturer for guidance.
