Do I need to replace my car seat?

It is not necessary to replace a child seat as a result of these new requirements. However, the child seat should be replaced if it was in a car that was involved in a collision. Even if your child wasn’t in the child seat when the collision occurred, the child seat could be damaged. Child seats have expiry dates - so make sure you replace yours when it expires. If the shell or materials on the seat are ripped or damaged, replace it.

The previous standards have provided a high level of safety for children for many years and will continue to provide protection throughout the useful life of a child restraint

It is important to note that if you own a car seat or booster seat made before January 1, 2012, under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, you may not be able to advertise, sell, or give it (including lending) away because it may not meet the latest requirements set out by Health Canada and Transport Canada.
