[quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
I checked this thread again after the first few replies (which confirmed my leanings) and then I went out and bought the same carseat that night. I didn't think anything of it until I found today that apparently people are still replying to this thread, appalled at me and my DH.

There are a lots of assumptions being thrown out, but I will only address a couple.

First, I had no intention other than to reimburse her for the car seat. I was not "entertaining" making her pay for it.

Second, my husband briefly thought about asking her to claim the car seat if she was going to put a claim in to her insurance (but not if she didn't, we were not going to make her insurance rates go up solely because of our car seat) or to ask her to pay partially for the carseat because we are actually otherwise quite generous to her.

She is a part-time nanny who only works about 2/3 of the hours she actually gets paid for, and we maintained her position for her earlier this year after not needing her anymore (new preschool is full day, previous required aftercare) because she was so distraught about having to look for a new job.  We paid her for the two days she couldn't work because of the stolen car/car seat issue.  We also gave her a bonus of two weeks pay last year, when we did not receive any bonuses ourselves (cue the nannies telling me what a crap bonus amount that is).

My DH is not a cheap bastard, or jerk, or whatever the hell else he was called on this thread.  He grumbled a bit and was initially annoyed by the situation.  He had no issue with me replacing the car seat after the first mention of it.
