DO I NEED TO REPLACE MY RIDESAFER AFTER A CRASH?

Posted on by Nyasha Green

Yes for moderate to severe crashes based on NHTSA’s criteria for a minor crash. Here is the Crashed Vest Protocol:

  1. If the lap-shoulder belt was used vest must be replaced if ANY of the following occurred:
    1. There was injury to any of the occupants in the car
    2. If any of the airbags deployed
    3. If there was damage to the door next to the child
    4. If the car is not able to be driven away crash
    5. Any visible damage to the vest
  2. If the tether was used, Vest & Tether must be replaced.
  3. If the Energy Absorbent Tether Anchor Loops or Extenders were used, all pieces must be replaced including vest.

As a certified child passenger restraint, the vest should be included in any insurance claim reimbursement.
