Why is side impact<br />
protection important?<br />
Although side impact<br />
collisions account for<br />
around a quarter of<br />
all crashes in the <strong>US</strong><br />
(23.6 percent), they<br />
result in higher injury<br />
rates than frontal or<br />
rear impacts combined.<br />
Protecting a child’s vulnerable<br />
side and head is critical in side<br />
on collisions. Energy and motion<br />
from impact can’t be completely<br />
eliminated in the event of collision,<br />
however we strive to engineer<br />
car seats that transfer energy<br />
from the child to the car seat.<br />
How? By using a combination<br />
of engineering and design features.<br />
Forces of a side impact<br />
Forces of a side impact<br />
Key design features<br />
built into our car seats:<br />
Steel core shell to<br />
protect the child’s torso.<br />
Reinforced side walls that<br />
shield the child.<br />
Lined with thick, energy<br />
absorbing foam to<br />
distribute crash forces.<br />
Adjustable head support to<br />
minimize side to side head<br />
movement during a crash.<br />
Deep side wings to protect<br />
the head and chest.<br />
