Replacing a child car seat after an accident

After a minor collision, most parents do not pay special attention to the child car seat that is installed in the car and continue to use it, since there is often no visible damage on it. But the manufacturers of child seats are extremely negative about this approach. Why? Because it is important that the seat is always in perfect condition and that is why Britax Römer, Maxi-Cosi and Recaro child car seats can be replaced with a new one for a nominal fee.

Why should I change my child car seat after an accident?

Modern models of child car seats, even in the event of a catastrophic accident, when the car can flatten, often may not even be damaged and will visually have only a couple of scratches. But even if outwardly the chair looks perfect, microcracks may form inside, because the car seat frame takes on an impressive impact.

It will not be possible to see these damages with the naked eye, they can be noticed with special scanners, but checking with such a scanner can cost the price of a new chair and does not make sense, because such a chair cannot be repaired in any case. Every detail is important for the safety of the child and it is dangerous to use the chair after an accident! The main purpose of the seat is to protect the child during an impact, and a high-quality child car seat copes with this task. But reusing the chair after a collision is not recommended!
