We are all fine, it was extremely minor, there isn't even a mark on my car. I was merging onto a main road (there is construction so they were detouring us) and there was is normally a yeild sign there, but because of construction there was an oddly placed stop sign, I Stopped of course, and started to inch out, and realized a car was coming up fast, on the road I was merging onto, so I braked again and stopped but did not brake hard, suddenly I felt a bump on the back of my car, enough to bump us forward slightly but not much, It was a utility van. We both pulled over and exchanged info and checked out our cars, he had a small dent on his bumper which he did not seem phased about.. my car bumper is spotless.
I have called the car seat companies, all three seats were occupied. (yes the kids were in the car and were fine thank god) I had Julianna in a harmony cruz in the third row, which I will just replace. I had Fiona in a recaro vivo on the passenger side second row. I called Recaro and they said they go by NHSTA guildlines and they say the Vivo is fine. I also had Nolan in a Nautilus on the drivers side second row. Graco says replace. Do you all agree with this? or should I keep using the graco and the cruz? or replace all three? or go with the plan I have?
LMK what you think, DH wants me to call the guy and ask him to help us replace the seats if they need to be replaced, but he was old and I doubt he even knows that kids ride in car seats these days and would understand. I would rather just not have to replace any but if I do, I do. (I already put an iso up in swap)
