  • How to clean a car seat? Great question! This is one of the most FAQs I get!
    Not all car seats are created equal. Your manual will detail how to clean the car seat, whether the cover and parts are removable or if they can be machine washed and/or dried, and the cleaning products permitted for use. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠
    Warning! If you clean your car seat with products that are not approved for use, then you compromise the integrity of the car seat and alter its functionality and efficacy in a crash.⁠⁠
    In this video, I'll take you through all the dos and don'ts and even take one of my kids' seats from filthy to fresh. Let's get cleaning!
    Are you a regular car seat cleaner or do you let it linger? Let me know in the comments!

    Thank you so much. Our youngest is getting car sick often and I admit I just wanted to spray it down with a gardening hose

    We have this seat but the zip off one 😂 after my first and cleaning vomit & potty accidents so many times when we got a car seat for kiddo 2 a must was machine washable and the easiest removable options 😅

    We have a century one drive on 3 in 1 and it is crazy easy to take apart and clean, the hardest part is uninstalling and re-installing.

    • @safeintheseat

      If it's hard to install, I imagine you are using the lower anchors. You might try the seat belt installation instead. The Inside Out Trick helps you get lightweight seats, like this one, installed tightly: ua-cam.com/video/9eEWzIwZNHc/v-deo.html

    Thanks for your videos, they help a lot! Do you have any recomendations on colour selection for a seat? I'm buying a nuna exec for a second car but I'm not shure if I should take the grey (granite) or black (caviar). I like the looks of the gratine more but I'm concerned it can hold many stains in the long run. Thanks again!

    In terms of accident prevention; One of my hard core rules is never, never, never use drinking glasses or beverage pictures for cleaning liquids
    This advice could prevent a call to poison control. Other than that I found your advise helpful! Thank you, Grandma Vee❤

    • @safeintheseat
      @safeintheseat  6 місяців тому

      It's just a cup full of water and a little drop of soap! It also gets poured out when I'm finished; so I don't think we'll need poison control for that! But thanks for watching!

    What if I've already removed my removable cover and washed it incorrectly? 😬
    And now I'm just learning the correct way..... is a one time a mistake a make or break?

    • @safeintheseat

      Contact the manufacturer of your car seat. They are the only ones who can answer that question!

    We have a Graco TriRide with a cover that comes off pretty easily. My daughter has thrown up in her seat more times than I care to admit🤢

      That is so so tough. Glad you have a seat with a cover that comes off easily!

    Why do I feel like this is lowkey a workout video too? 😂 Realized I need to call the manufacturer of my car seat though. Is it easy to get a hold of someone to talk to? Makes me a little nervous

    • @safeintheseat
      @safeintheseat  Рік тому

      Totally agree. It was intense. Most have great customer service lines or chats on their website!

    What if you need to clean the straps?

    • @safeintheseat
      @safeintheseat  Рік тому +1

      You can use a damp washcloth or water wipes.

    I’ve already used Lysol wipes to wipe it off.. did I ruin it??

    • @safeintheseat

    I have a chicco carseat as well. They arent too hard to remove. Our problem is that we had a blowout on the harness like months ago and i never cleaned it 😅 but i guess its easy to just dawn it away. Lol.

    • @safeintheseat
      @safeintheseat  Рік тому

      It might not be very easy to clean the harness at this point. Try a wet washcloth. You can't soak the straps. If the wet washcloth doesn't work, you can contact Chicco and ask what else you can do.

    Do you have any recs on getting the pee smell out of the straps? 🥴

    • @safeintheseat

      Setting it out in the sun is the best for this.

      You can contact the manufacturer and see if they have any additional things they allow for your particular seat.
