So I'm brand new to this forum, and hopefully I'm posting this question in the right section.
My question is: I've been thinking, God forbid I get in an accident with my LO in the car, but if it happens, what do I do? Do I leave him in the car seat until an ambulance arrives? Even if the accident is not that severe, should I call for an ambulance anyway, to make sure my LO is okay? And what if it's a fender bender that doesn't require medical treatment, car being towed, etc. - would the car seat technically be unsafe at that point? Would it be safe to drive home with him in that car seat? I've only been in one car accident in my life, long before DS was born. The car was totaled and had to be towed, but I was perfectly fine. I just got to thinking, what on earth would I have done if I'd had a LO with me!
