Do I need to get a new carseat base?

I was in a car accident yesterday, and I did not have the car seat in the car, as I leave it at daycare, but I did have the base.  Do I need to get a new base?

Yes.

I think it really depends on the severity of the accident, but I tend to err on the side of caution with carseats anyway. We were in a minor accident months ago and I replaced both seats. Bases are pretty inexpensive anyway; I'd definitely replace it.

Yes, if you meet all of these:

Yes, your insurance may pay for it too.

Definitely see about getting insurance to cover it! Both my seats were replaced by insurance.
