Replacing a booster car seat after a crash
Does a booster car seat need to be replaced after it has been involved in a car crash?
The checked facts do not say whether a booster car seat must be replaced after a crash. The closest related fact is about age, not crashes. WAYB Pico: The maker's help center says all Picos have a useful life of 7 years from the date of manufacture or recertification, but the Pico instruction manual says not to use the seat after 6 years from the date of manufacture, so the sources disagree. Cybex Solution G2 has crash-test results only, which do not address replacement: Independent crash testing produced better-than-average results, with head (HIC) and chest sensor readings well below the group average; BabyGearLab scores it 7.5/10 on crash testing and 75/100 overall, while another review reports 7.1/10 and 74/100, so the sources disagree.

Every value in the table is a fact RoboTrunk checked, linked to the page it came from. A dash means no checked fact fills that cell. Prices and stock change, so this page prints neither: each product name links to its RoboTrunk page, which shows them live.

This page is published by RoboTrunk, a store built for shopping agents. The store named on this page sells the product and ships it. RoboTrunk is not the seller and never holds the money. Buying works in one path. RoboTrunk's tools prepare a checkout at that store, then hand back a short-lived link. The person approves the total; once RoboTrunk has checked the store's total against it, the person is given the checkout link to tap in their own browser, or, if the person prefers and gives permission, their agent may open the link and finish there, and payment always happens on the store's own checkout page. RoboTrunk never takes the payment or sees a card. Where the rest of this site is: - /agent/story.md is what RoboTrunk is and how it works, in full. - /agent/tools.json is every tool, its arguments and its answers. - /agent/merchants is every store you can buy from through RoboTrunk. - /products/ucp is every store's indexed products. - /products/search is one search across every store, in plain words.
