My husband was got in a minor accident and your daughter's convertable child seat was installed in the car. My husband was in the car alone.

The car seat is for my four year old child.
The damage to the car is to the hood and bumper area of the car since a lady turned right infront of him and he did not have enough time to stop.

If your husband was in the car alone, that means the child's seat was not occupied. If the kid was not in the car, then there is probably no damage to the car seat. Just inspect it thoroughly and make sure there's no hidden damage to the straps, under the padding, etc. It should be OK.

If the coverage agency mentioned you replace the vehicle seat, the twist of destiny could have had an substantial effect. All motor vehicle seats, even though if occupied or no longer, could get replaced interior the end results of this form of collision. The reasoning at the back of it rather is that the seat shape would have become compromised and an common eye inspection isn't adequate to word this. i'm valuable you will agree that that's greater efficient to be secure than sorry.

if the child seat has any damage or is bent in any way then it would only make good sense to re-place the seat ---- and do not jack around with you baby's life in any future accidents... I have never heard of a law that requires the seat to be discarded after a mishap.... but, look at the seat and you must judge if it is worthy of using to help and protect the life of your child.......

From what I've heard, if the car seat was in the car and the car was in an accident, by law you are REQUIRED to replace the car seat, even if there is visibly nothing wrong with it. I know it's stupid, but I had a friend who was in a fender bender and nothing happened to the car seat but by law they had to get a new one. Be safe, rather than sorry - this is your baby you're talking about.

If there is any question about the integrity of the car seat, yes.

Why would you ask? What value do you place on your child? If it is less than $250, then don't bother replacing after accident whether occupied or not.

Of course, you don't have to but I would go ahead and get a new one to take every measure to protect my child
