My mother was in a minor accident this past week. She was rear-ended. The other guy was accelerating and she had just stopped to let someone turn. We're talking a 15-25 mph crash. We had just purchased a new gn for her vehicle in the past couple of months (it is always in the middle row of seats, passenger side, but dd was not in it). State Farm said they would replace (no questions at all)...and we have already purchased a new one and mom has been reimbursed (I just have not went and installed - mom can install them though). Now I'm reading they don't necessarily need replaced in a minor accident (saw criteria on NHSTA website)...and mom's accident met all those criteria. So, what do you guys think? Is the old seat junk? Do we cut the straps, write 'crashed' on it and set it for the trash man? Or is still acceptable for use? I just hate throwing away a seat that looks perfectly fine....if I'm just being crazy carseat mom...
Thanks for listen to me babble.
