dh was in a accident on tue with our 9yr old dd that has low tone C.P.
she was in a graco Nautilus (5-point)
dh was hit right where dd sits in the van he was going 20 miles a hour and the lady decided to turn and turned right into the side of my van
she is very banged up
I took her right to the ER and they put a neck collar on her and x-rays of her neck
the next day her face started swelling so I took her back in and they said it was from the bump on her forehead draining down her face (I didn't see a bump the night before) the only thing she could have hit was the wing of the carseat
the bummer part is the insurance will only pay for her seat to be replaced even though I have 5 carseats in the van (2 were in use at the time but ds didn't get hurt)
so the point is I need help picking out a new seat for her and the other kids (I drive a minivan)
I had
3 nautulis's
1 radian
1 brand new britax boulevard (only 1month old)
I have all of them 5 point harnessed
our oldest is a very little 11yr old (58lbs) 16 1/5 shoulder
dd that got hurt is 9 (50lbs) 16 inches shoulder height
ds 7yrs (48lbs) 16 1/2 shoulder
ds 4yrs (42lbs)
dd 2 (28lbs)
plus I really feel I need to replace all the seats even if the insurance won't
is that right?
I need hers to have good head protection
