What a freaking nightmare! Thank GOD she only puked once but GROSS............ just taking the flipping cover off the seat took me a good 20 minutes, Gareth said from now for long car trips we will be putting a pocket bib on her over her straps LMAO! What is the worst though is trying to clean the straps and such that you cannot get off the seat! I washed with dawn and a wet cloth then also doused them with vinegar

I'm sorry. Poor baby!

Yeah, I'd just throw the cover in the wash. I wash the girls' covers once a month or so. For the straps...yup, I'd use vinegar too.

Hope she's feeling better.

Ugh, this happened to me last week!!!!! It was horrible!

[leese]

Agreed! It has to be one of the worst things ever. It was so hard to get the puke smell out of all the little cracks and crevices, too!

[ollybgolly]

Oy yuck! Cleaning puke off of anything is enough to make me gag right now! You still think it was just car sick?

You shouldn't use anything but a small amount of water with the straps, never cleaners, chemicals or submerge them in water. I would call the car seat manufacturer and see if they would send you a new harness.

charlotte has pretty bad car sick and we travel alot! including 40 min each way every day to daycare, so we have a puke incident at least twice a month and it SUCKS!!!! i hate it, she hates it and it never gets any easier to clean the car seat.

Danielle- would the manufacture give me new straps every time?! B/C that would amaze me!!!!!

[:::Dan!elle:::]

Probably not every time, probably just once. You can buy a new harness from them and most of the time they are pretty cheap ($10-$15).

[mindyjean]

Yes, that is probably one of the worst things ever!!! Hope she's feeling better.
