Hello-
My pregger brain malfunctioned this week and I hit another car while pulling into an intersection.
Thank goodness none of us where hurt. My car is smaller and newer so it took more damage as my front bumper basically crumpled to take the impact.
The other driver was a licensed daycare transporting kids in a mini-van in WAY expired harnessed seats - that's a vent for another day. (Totally my fault that they got hit but - MAN. I very nicely told her to make insurance re-places those seats cause once they are in an accident they are no good and I did mention expiry dates to which she looked confused.)
Anyway I have 12! airbags in my car and none of them went off - no-one was hurt but there is a fair amount of damage to my bumper because of the crumple technology.
Now I know that a harnessed seat needs to be replaced after an accident BUT what about a booster? My six year old was riding on the opposite side of the car from the impact in a B505 booster. My first thought was to replace it (even though this may be silly) but then someone mentioned that a booster just raises the child up and if there where any forces applied they would have been to the seat belt not the booster??? Anyway not sure what to do here - seems like baby is taking all my brain cells
Thanks
