So a friend of mine was hit from behind about 2 weeks ago (I believe it was a parking lot, and the other person was backing out of their spot and hit them...so going like next to nothing). It was a tap basically. They hardly felt a thing. They have a Graco MR. She ended up calling me to find out about the whole car seat issue. I told them that because it a minor collision I'd still be 100% comfortable continuing to use the seat (I asked quite a few questions about the collision...and it was minor. I'll bet I'd have done more with my foot). She was good with that.
At any rate, she got a phone call today from the other person's insurance company (She didn't file a claim) and they want to replace her car seat. BUT they want ME to write up a letter stating that they should (because it was a collisions and they need to be replaced, blah blah blah), and they want a photo copy of my license.....
At any rate, I talked to my friend tonight, and asked her what she wanted me to do....I could easily write that all up for her, and she can get her seat replaced, and seeing as she's not sure what to do, I probably will write the letter, just so she has that option. But it seems such a waste to get rid of that seat, when there is nothing wrong with it...kwim.
So now my thing is, IF she decides to get a new seat, and the insurance company doesn't want the car seat, would it be bad for me to take it, and use it (knowing full well that its safe to use, and I trust her 110%) as back up...or to put my 4 year old rear facing (I've wanted to see how he would do rear facing, but not sure i could convince him to go rfing in a pink seat...lol). Or to just keep the cover (YAY Cover) and destroy the seat?
Also, what the heck am I supposed to put in the letter??? I hate writing things...
