My husband bumped into a construction tow hitch of a parked car and although he felt almost NO impact, the front of our Sienna mini-van is totaled. My husband was going less than 5mph and was shocked at the damage at that speed and the lack of impact. He was the only one in the car and the impact was so small that the airbags did not employ. He described it like a hard stop at a traffic light. For car seats in the car we have a booster base which wasn't attached to the car in any way (nor did it slide off the seat) and a 2012/3 Diono Radian forward facing seat attached by LATCH and tether. My 5year old was not in the car at the time so the seat had no passenger. Should we be replacing the seat? It has a 10 year expiration due to metal frame and my 5 year old is the last in my family to use the seat. We figured that he would be in the seat until around age 8 as he tends to be a little tall for his age. Thanks for your advice.
