Our True Fit was in my mom's car. She was is a bad accident and the car is totaled. She will be okay and none of my kids were with her. What I'm wondering is does the insurance company take the old seat or do I end up with a useless seat? If so, what do I do with it?

Some insurance company's do take it then issue payment for a new one(at fault insurance) or have you buy a new seat then bring them the reciept and crashed seat and then give you payment, call and ask them. If they dont you could maybe find the safekids branch by you and they would know how to destroy it(keep your cover if you want).

They are taking the car and the car seat. I'm glad I told my dad to include the seat in the report. They had no idea the seat was a total loss.

Before they take the seat, cut the harness out and write on the shell in Sharpie "Damaged do not use."
