Minor parking lot bump - would you replace?

To make a long story short - I got blocked in at a parking lot recently and no one knew who owned the car and of course no one could come help me get out (not going there again). Anyway, thought I could squeeze out by a lightpost but crunched the front plastic bumper of the car since the lightpost of course had a cement ring around the bottom which I couldn't see over the hood of the SUV...The kids were in an evenflo and a true fit and my 3 year old asked why we stopped - didn't even notice the bump or the lovely crunch as is happened. I was inching along pretty slowly when it happened. I paid 350 to get the bumper popped out and repainted - would you replace the seats? No other damage or injuries.

I'm always nervous about answering these questions, since I wasn't there. But based on the description of the incident, I would not consider it a "crash" and I would not replace seats.
