I know this has been addressed over and over but I cant seem to find the info I need. A friend who runs a daycare was rear ended a couple days ago. It was minor. I dont have a lot of details but most or all of her seats were unoccupied. No daycare kids with her. Nobody hurt. Driver who hit her has no insurance. Her insurance company says none of the seats need to be replaced (will ask her what specific seats she has today). I know there is at least one manufacture that requires that their seat be replaced after ANY crash. Which one is it? I told her to call each seats manufacture and ask them what their policy was on replacement and go from there. She does not have the money to replace 5+ seats right now.

Many manufacturers require replacement after any crash. Most of the more popular brands fall into this category: Evenflo, Dorel, Graco, the TrueFit and Radian all require replacement after any crash. Britax and Combi go by NHTSA's minor crash replacement criteria.

The info for each seat's policy will be in the owner's manuals.
