it is older than six years or has been in a moderate or

moderate or severe crash. It is not necessary to replace a
car seat after a minor crash defined by the U.S. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as:
* The vehicle is driveable from the crash site; and
* The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not
damaged; and
* No vehicle occupants were injured; and
* There is no visible damage to the child seat; and

car seat. Doing so could cause damage to the harness
adjuster and webbing. Always carry an infant car seat by
the handle or shell.
