Accident Question....

My best friends mom was in a car accident yesterday. She was hit at less than 10 MPH, but her whole bumper needs replacing(she drives a ford escape).
The baby was not in the carseat at the time. Does the seat need replacing. I know for sure the seat was not a britax. I am guessing it is the safeseat, triumph advance or scenera. I asked her and waiting for a message back.

I am leaning towards needing to be replaced?

Thanks. :) She said the carseat is fine and she doesn't see a problem with it, but they listen to me 100% on carseat saftey.

Yes, it must be replaced. Britax is the only manufacturer that follows NHTSA guidelines for replacement after a crash. Better safe than sorry. :thumbsup:

I had the same type of accident in my ford escape. I replaced both my seats and they were Britax seats.
