car seat in a wreck
my husband was rear-ended, and it wasn't just a little tap, so we replaced the car seat that my son was rising in at the time, of course. everything i have ever read anywhere about car seat safety insists on this.
the metro lawyer (my husband was hit by an on-duty metro employee) insists that we should give them the car seat if they have to pay for it, so they can use it!!! they want to give it to a poor family with no car seat. while i applaud the idea of giving poor families car seats, i have a big problem with the idea of giving them damaged car seats. the guy says, we can look and see if it is damaged. everything written on this says you CAN"T.
i already sent them a fax with info from the century website to show that it needed to be replaced to begin with. i can't give them the seat anyway, i already disposed of it properly; i wrote in huge letters all over with permanent marker DAMAGED IN WRECK DO NOT USE and took the cover off. now i realize of course that i should not have actually disposed of it, only marked it up, because now i do not have it to show to the metro people, but this really ticks me off.
what can i show them to prove my point? any links or ideas? something from a car seat safety technician might help my case. if possible, please reply to my e-mail below. thanks.
