How to tell if the seat has been in a crash
The Primo Viaggio Convertible can withstand minor crashes without any damage. If the child
restraint has been in a crash, you must determine if it is suitable for further use. First review
the five guidelines listed below and then refer to the next section titled "clear signs the child
restraint has been in a crash".
What defines a minor crash?A minor crash is one in which ALL of the following apply:
• The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site.
• The vehicle door nearest to the car seat was not damaged.
• None of the passengers in the vehicle sustained any injuries in the crash.
• The vehicle air bags did not deploy during the crash.
• There is no visible damage to the car seat.
If any one of these five statements apply, the seat may be damaged and should not be used.
If these statements do not apply, refer to the next section to check for hidden damage.
Clear signs the child restraint has been in a crash.
Peg Perego does not recommend purchasing used seats for which there is no known history.
A child restraint can be damaged in a vehicle crash, and may not be suitable for further use
after a vehicle crash.
The Primo Viaggio Convertible has energy absorbing features that reduce forces on the child
passenger during a vehicle crash. These features can only absorb energy one time. If any of
these features show damage as shown below, the entire seat must be replaced.
