Replacing seatbelt

Ok We know to replace car seats after an accident and it's been said to replace seatbelts after an accident as well.
So when you're in an accident and you replace your car seat are you replacing your seatbelt as well?
I haven't seen anyone talk about it, I mean if they both have to be replaced then wouldn't it make sense to replace a seatbelt when you replace your car seat, It seems contradictory to not replace seatbelt.

Good auto body shops have a huge computer generated checklist from the automaker telling what to inspect or replace in a crash (At least that's how my BIL explained it to me, he owned a body shop :)), and yeah, seatbelts are on the list to at least inspect, and often replace, after a crash :thumbsup:

Two weeks after I bought my car I was rear-ended on the freeway. The other woman's insurance paid to replace the Cargo that my 4yo goddaughter was in, as well as all occupied seatbelts (2 of 5), and the back bumper. The insurance company was the one to tell ME that the car seat and seatbelts needed to be replaced.
