My oldest DD7 and I were driving down the interstate today when I heard this big crash of sound, my DD started screaming and I looked back and her back window was shattered. Scared her and I both, thank God she wasn't hurt. I still have to look her frontier over for glass. Her seat was covered.

Don't you think her seat us fine as long as I look it over?

Just take it apart, shake it out and wash it. Glad she is ok. Do you know what hit?

I have no idea. I was in the middle lane when it shattered. Suppose to get my new window tomorrow. The van was covered in glass!

I am glad to hear your DD is okay.

The good news is most companies will vaccum ALL the glass for you. The bad news is you will find glass for months, it like Easter grass. I had an opps with my back rear window in my van.

Was it hot out? Years ago when DS was 7m I got him out of my Nissan Altima and closed the door and the sunroof shattered. It was over 100 that day. His seat was right under it but luckily I had the interior slider closed.

Super scary and I'm so glad your DD is OK. That could have ended badly.

Oh my goodness that is so scary :eek:. Your poor DD, I'm sure she was very startled, I know I would be. It may not be a bad idea to not only take her seat apart and shake it out but to vacuum the cover as well to make sure you get all the glass out.

Got my new window in my van today. Also took the car seats out, washed the covers and vacuumed the seats.
