Hey Everyone...
I wanted to get some opinions. Tonight, dh was replacing the brakes on our jeep in the driveway. My next door neighbor had just dropped off dd and her radian and propped the radian up in front of the car against our garbage can.
Well, dh finished the brakes and turned the car on to move it forward a few feet. He must have forgotten about the car seat, and when he noticed it, the brakes didn't work and he had to pull the emergency brake. Basically, when I got outside, the radian was completely underneath the Jeep. That being said, the wheels didn't touch it, just the grille and underbody. (the front of the seat was facing the jeep, so it tipped it backwards)
So, what do you think? The cover was covered (no pun intended!) with grease, and I inspected the seat...a couple of scrapes on the bottom of the seat, but I don't see anything else. I know there can be hidden damage, though. On the upside, the jeep isn't low to the ground, so basically the car seat got knocked over and possibly pushed against the concrete for a couple of feet.
So what would you do? Use or replace?
Edited to add: I am super cautious and am leaning toward replacement. On the other hand, the car was barely moving. Point is, I am conflicted! And mad at dh! lol.
