Family Feud Over Car Seat Replacement After Accident

A woman is stuck in a dilemma with her in-laws and sister-in-law over who should replace a car seat after it was used for her nephew instead of her son. After the car seat was in an accident, her in-laws want their insurance to pay for a new one for their nephew’s cheaper, front-facing seat.

However, the woman believes that since it was their choice to buy a cheaper seat, and they used her son’s expensive, rear-facing one, they should replace it, not them. The situation has caused a rift between the family, and the woman is now reaching out to Reddit for advice.
