should be inspected by a qualified dealer technician after
any collision.

tehcnician finds that the child restraints do not show damage
and continue to operate properly, they do not need to be
replaced. If there is any bending of the vehicle seat back or seat
structure, it should also be replaced. Built-in child seats not in
use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if
either damage or improper operation is noted.
