Do you rent car seats if they have been in a car accident?

This depends on the car seat manufacturer. If a car seat is involved in a minor crash (as defined below), some brands DO NOT have to be thrown away.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines a minor crash as one that meets all of the following:

  • Vehicle was driven away from the scene
  • No airbags were deployed
  • No damage occurred to the door closest to the car seat
  • No visible damage to car seat
  • No injuries to any vehicle occupant (includes soreness)

If all of the criteria listed above is met, Britax, Cosco, Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, Safety 1st, and UppaBaby brand car seats CAN be safely reused and/or rented.
