A horror story -why you SHOULD take the car seat covers off and wash them...

[Fawkes]

With the help of a friend, I took the car seats covers off the Maxi Cosi ETA: From the outside didn't look too bad.


Never seen so much mould

sprayed it twice with mould cleaner, washed it twice in the machine.


I'm doing it once every 8 weeks from now on not once every two years.

I feel very sick...........

There was a whole new world under there.

Oh dear!

DD1 has gone through various phases of car sickness so ours have always been washed every couple of months anyway, but still even after just a couple of months tehre are always tons of crumbs etc, even though she never eats in the car?

washing car seats and their covers is one of my most hated tasks

[Mrs B]

We just find things like raisins and biscuit crumbs in there - but enough to feed an army!

Its the piecing it all back together that does my nut in

Oh gawd, I hadn't even thought about washing the covers of the car seat. How scummy is that?!!? I can foresee a weekend of much swearing with me attempting to put the buggy and car seat covers back on.

[Blonde Girl]

Oh God I have never ever washed the car seat covers

I think I am too scared to now, for fear of what I may find

Exactly WSS

And oh my lord, I've been passing the carseats on from one child to the next, so Ines is in a carseat that has been used for nearly 4 years WITH NO WASH.
