If the vehicle is in a car accident, should the seat be replaced?

You may want to look into car seat laws but I believe as a general rule of thumb, any car seat that has been in an accident should be replaced.

It is for the left or right. Most people replace both if you don't it will great impact the handling of your vehicle.

yes that is your cars left. it is the same as human sides, if that makes sense. sit in drivers seat..whatever side you need is the side you order. I would recommend replacing both at the same time. if one is stripped the other is soon to follow, plus the new one will be completely black as the other will be a faded grayish color.

This car seat sits differently than others, so fits well in smaller vehicles, as it takes up less space. You can send back to Amazon with no problem if it didn't work out.

Yes, I believe so. We are planning to replace the seats next year because the cushion it comes with are not the best of quality.

It was not involved in any recalls.... as far as crash test requirements, here is a link to a crash test video of the seat.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9dN2t3NcpM

My husband, six-year old, and myself were rear-ended last night (13 hours ago) by a guy driving a 2013 Porsche Cayenne (1999 Camry for us). My husband and I both needed to be examined at the hospital and have whiplash injuries. My son was completely unscathed, scared for a moment but not hurt in any way. The fire department first responders took one look at Felix's seat, checked that it was installed correctly, and high-fived Felix, telling me that they rarely see any injuries in big kids in those kinds of seats. Felix is 6.5 years old, 45" tall. 45 lbs of muscle. He is not sore at all today either, but holy crap, I am sore. The fire captain advised me that even though the seat visually looks fine that the seatbelts have been strained and the foam is probably somewhat compressed so we should replace it. I am here to buy another one today. Worth EVERY penny for Felix to be completely unhurt and the guy who hit us or his insurance will have to pay for it.

In theory, you could just put it on the carseat without the original cover, but it would be super uncomfortable :( It is thin like a sheet. It's more to protect the original cover than it is to replace it.

We have this model and ours was manufactured in 2011 so it was part of the recall. It depends on when it was manufactured. Your car seat will have a sticker on it that tells you and you can call the company to make sure. Hope this helps

I would recommend no because Britax crash tested this specific seat protector for Britax car seats not any other model. If you were in an accident and you used different car seat accessory than the ones made by your car seat manufacturer, your car seat could fail in a crash. Also, if your car seat was to malfunction and you wanted to take legal action you wouldn't be able to because you used parts not approved by your car seat manufacturer. This also would void your Graco warranty. Do I think any of this would happen? Who knows? Just giving you the information I learned as a car seat tech.

Honestly,I dont know. But if any car seat would,this is the one.Sorry,could not be more helpful,I have it installed in a regular midsize sedan.

Yes. I contracted Graco and they rushed me the parts I needed to make the seat safe for my grandson. I cannot remember the exact date that I bought the seat, but I would believe that the ones being sold now have that problem remedied.

Don't really know abou that particular use of the seat. I'd worry about keeping it in place.

Contact Britax. They will send you a replacement. Or you can return it to Amazon (if that is where you purchased the seat). Do NOT use the seat without the chest clip fastened. It is required to use the chest clip and it should be at nipple level or armpit level. Also if you child is rear facing, make sure the straps are at or below their shoulders. If the child is forward facing the straps should be above the shoulders. This is very important for the seat's performance in a crash.

My guess is that it is unlikely as it would be based upon production date. The good news is that the problem only occurs after a child has spilled food and drink on the buckle. If you plan to order, I would go ahead and visit the Graco site. All you have to do is enter the style carseat you have and they will mail a replacement out right away.

Call the company for a replacement. One of the car seat clips broke and they sent me a new one right away.

I added a gel seat cover. I did nt try to replace the seat. The gel pad makes it great.
