All car seats (infant, convertible, forward-facing only, and boosters) are crash tested to make sure they are safe for your child. The tests are done by simulating a car crash at 30 miles per hour. This is done to make sure that the car seat can protect your child in case of an accident.
The tests are based on a set of rules called Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213). These rules are made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The FMVSS 213 requires that child restraints pass a dynamic test simulating a 30 mph frontal impact. This means that the car se ..read more
