Whilst strapping my DS into the car today the car parked behind me (we were parked in a line by pavement) pulled out & straight into my open car door!:censored:
I would have understood if I'd just opened the door & he hadn't seen it, but he hadn't even moved/started his the car when I opened it!:angry:
Now the door won't shut cos its all bent down the side & at the hinges, I had to drag my DH out of bed to come get kids so I could drive home with the door tied as far shut as it would go! The insurance can't do anything to get it fixed till Tuesday cos of the bank holiday, so I'll be without car for sometime! Glad its the holidays & no sch pick ups till 14th (all 4 schoolies are starting in yr R so parents are doig the part time bit), but I'll be stuck in with mindees cos no where to walk to from my home :panic: :panic: :panic:
Anyway getting off of the rant & back to the question:blush:
Should I get the kids seats replaced as it was only the open door that was hit & not the actual body of the car?
There was 6 seats in there at the time, 2 are new within the last month & another one was new a couple of months ago (not that that matters). All in all 6 seats worth about £650!:eek:
