Does my Graco Extend2fit need replaced after a MINOR car accident?

My daughter and friend were in a MINOR car accident. It basically was a fender bender. No one got hurt, there is no damage to the vehicle, the air bags did NOT deploy, and the car was able to drive away. I have looked at the owners manual and looked on the website and have found that Graco says to replace it. However, I am waiting until morning to call customer support for a definitive answer. What does everyone else think?

Hi there. So sorry you're dealing with this. At least it was minor.

Graco says to replace after ANY crash. The only question is, was this a crash? If it's so so minor that you can't even tell it happened, maybe it was more of a bump and not a crash and no big deal. None of us were there with you to see it, but if it was a crash, it needs replacing. If it was a bump, meh.
