These child restraints all
meet or exceed the
requirements of FMVSS
213.
Just because you don’t
recognize the name,
doesn’t mean they aren’t
safe seats.

Feature: Infant Seat with
Rebound Bar
• On the carrier/car seat
• On the base
Britax Chaperone
Combi Shuttle
4
Feature: Infant Seat with
Rebound Bar (cont.)
• Anti-Rebound Bar
– Why? In severe crashes, the rebound at the end
could result in baby hitting the vehicle seatback.
Some infant car seats have an anti-rebound bar on
the base to minimize the chances that baby will pop
up that far in a crash.
– The anti-rebound bar isn't required for the car seat to
be safe.
• Many infant car seats have a very deep shell that contains
the baby during rebound and protects against hitting the
vehicle seat.
5
Feature: Low Birth Weight
Foam/Inserts
• Low birth weight foam or an insert may
provide improved fit with small babies.
• Always read the instructions for weight
limits
6
Feature: Low Birth Weight
Foam/Inserts (cont.)
• Not always visible!
Chicco KeyFit
Britax Chaperone
7
Feature: Seat with Higher
Weight Limits
• To accommodate larger children and promote harness
use longer, many restraints have increased weight limits,
both rear and forward facing.
• Always check the manuals and follow limits.
8
Feature: Unusual Belt Path
• Check labels and the manual.
• Unusual may be approved.
Combi Coccoro
9
Feature: Protection Shield
• This looks like an older
model tray shield but it is
new and specially
designed.
• Force-absorbing
materials.
• Crash test footage:

Kiddy World Plus
10
Feature: Shock Absorber
• On a booster seat:
Absorbs the energy
during a crash.
• Results in a visible cue
that it must be replaced
(it deforms).
• It can be compared to a
kind of crumple zone for
children’s car seats.
Kiddy World Plus
11
Feature: Boosters and
LATCH
• Always read the owner’s manuals to see of a restraint
can be secured with the lower anchors when used as a
booster seat.
• Possible benefit: Locks the booster seat into place using
your vehicle’s lower anchorage system
to provide additional booster seat
stability in a collision

Feature: Built-in Lock Offs
• There are several models of child seats that are
including built-in lock-offs in the current market. Each
manufacturer, and even different models from the same
manufacturer, can have a different style and instruction
for use of the built-in lock-offs.
• The seat belt webbing slides into some lock-offs and
clamped by other lock-offs.
• Some child seats direct you to use one lock-off and
others to use two.
• READ THE MANUAL and STICKERS!
16
Built-in Lock Offs
17
Lock Offs
• They serve the pre-crash locking system for the child seat.
• Provided on some seats to make installation more convenient.
• By using the lock-off, the caregiver does not need to identify what
type of latch plate or retractor is in their vehicle.
• There is wide variation in the designs and correct uses of
the built in lock-offs on the current market.
• Each manufacturer, and even different models from the same
manufacturer, can have a different style and instruction for use of
the built-in lock-offs.
• Some child seats direct you to use one lock-off and others to use
two.
• Reading the instructions is critical to correct installation.
18
Take Action
• Where do you go if you have a question or
notice a possible problem?
– Check the child restraint Owner’s Manual
– Contact the child restraint Manufacturer
– Utilize the Manufacturer website
• Caregiver empowerment
– Teach the caregiver where and how to find
the answers
19
Where to go?
• The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
puts out an annual listing of many child
restraints that includes weight and height
limits.
