DH had a fender bender last week. I'm feeling like an idiot that it just now occurred to me to think about the carseats. There was damage to his bumper, but not to the other car. We have 2 seats in there, a Britax Boulevard for DS2 and a Frontier that is in booster mode for DS1 (it was latched in).
I have to check the Boulevard. We have 2 and one was close to expiring (like a year left?). I hope it was that one, but I'm not sure. What about the Frontier. I think they don't meet Britax's criteria for replacement right? We have family in town using DH's car, so they aren't being used ATM and they aren't used often, so we have time to get it figured out and a few spares.

Yeah, Britax specifies 'moderate to severe' crash, and it doesn't sound like that qualified.

Britax has questions/info on their website.
I was in a fender bender this fall. No one was hurt, airbags did not deploy, minimal to no damage. I did not need to replace the seats.

Thanks
We aren't going through insurance, but I don't mind buying new seats. One of our Boulevards is close to retirement anyway and I might pick up a Radian and a narrower booster so we can fit 3 across instead of putting DS1 in the 3rd row when the baby comes (Acura MDX...much tighter fit than I'd like but it's not my car...)
