A child restraint system is provided. The child restraint system includes a seat, a headrest, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a plurality of internal side impact surfaces including at least a first internal side impact surface that is provide at the first sidewall and a second internal side impact surface that is provided at the second sidewall. In embodiments, four internal side impact surfaces may be provided as well. A pocket is formed in the area between the internal side impact surfaces and respective sidewalls. In this manner, as a child moved towards a sidewall during a crash event, the elbow or entire arm of the child falls into the pocket and the internal side impact surfaces mitigate the movement of the hips and/or shoulders of the child. This reduces the compression of the child's arm against the sidewall, consequentially reducing the compression on the child's chest.
