My child restraint received a lower rating under the new star system. Is it still safe?
Yes, your child restraint is still safe. All child restraints sold today meet or exceed rigorous Federal crash test standards and are extensively tested by both manufacturers and the government. The Ease of Use rating that your child restraint received provides information only on NHTSA’s determination of how easy it is to use the child restraint. There is no reason to be concerned about the crash performance or safety of your child restraint.
