For those that have tried to claim, does ICBC make it easy/hard to just straight up replace with a new one? I am also with BCAA for optional insurance, does that make a difference?

Follow the link for instructions.
I have replaced about 5 or 6 car seats now through seperate car accidents, lost count actually
It's been hassle free for all my claims
EDIT:
There are two ways of doing this, and it's all in the above link.
You can replace the car seat with a similar model and ICBC will reimburse you for it. Or just get reimbursed for the damaged seat.
Myself I bought a Clek seat for $399, and the replacement model which went up in price was $499, ICBC gave me the full amount for the replacement.
But unfortunately got into a fender bender which wasn't my fault. I submitted my receipt to get a cash reimbursement from the Clek, used the cash to buy 2 Diono Radian R seats.
Another accident again, not my fault, bought two replacement Diono Radian 3RXT seats, inline with ICBC requirements of replacing it with similar seats. Fully reimbursed.
And again, another accident. With my kids getting older, I replaced one Diono seat with another one, then a cash reimbursement for the damaged one, in which I used the cash to buy a Mifold Hifold booster seat.
All of the above accidents were not my fault, and they were all in Richmond
EDIT 2: Also as per car seat manufacturer, if your car was ever involved in an accident, it must be replaced by your insurance company. No matter how small the impact is based on my experience so far
