Would you replace this seat?

Coming out of a restaurant tonight, DH dropped our Keyfit on the concrete, about a foot.

Would you replace?

Evenflo has a CEU presentation you can watch on their tech site on materials and production that shows what to look for in stress marks- what's normal from production, and what marks caused by crashes and shipping damage or mishandling look like. If you haven't taken it, I'd recommend doing so, then inspecting carefully to make sure there is no damage. If not there probably wasn't enough force on a short fall like that to hurt it.

Yeah, that. I just did that one last week.:p

I highly doubt you'll need to replace it, though.
