We value and support our customers, and we understand that having a car accident and dealing with its aftermath can be incredibly stressful. That’s why we came up with our Car Seat Swap Service. If your child car seat has been in an accident, you can’t be sure that it’s still safe. Even if you can’t see any damage, it may not function properly.
We can take the Maxi-Cosi car seat that has been in the accident and replace it with a brand new one. So you can be confident that your child is safe – and we can get valuable information about how our car seats perform in collisions.
In some circumstance we can replace your car seats for Free with an identical or similar product through our SWAP Service. The accident needs to be reported within 4 weeks of it taking place and the circumstances need to meet the conditions below.
