Integrated Child Seat Belt Problems of Dodge Caravan

We were stopped waiting for traffic to clear, to turn into the school parking lot to pick up my daughter from school, when a 17 yr old rear ended us. My 1 yr old daughter was in the integrated child restraint and the insurance company say the manufacturer says that the integrity of the seat can not be compromised. It is illegal to resale a child seat that has been in an accident in the state of illinois!!!! therefore how can I ever sell this vehicle?.
