how to clean carseat? help..

Ok, so my dd had a massive poop explosion while in her car seat today. I don't know what to do. It seriously smells like something curled up and died in her carseat. I thought you couldn't wash the liner? Or am I mistaken? I heard it warps it. Any who, I wiped it down with a soaking wet towel and wiped it down with baby safe wipes then took another towel (dry) to soak up the part I got wet. I used it a few hours later and dd clothes smelt like the rotten poop smell again. I am at a loss.

Any suggestions? Thanks ladies!

  • I used to put Spray and wash on DD's and then throw it in the washing machine. It never warped and always went back on how it came off.

    I think it's the belts that you're not supposed to machine wash.

    We've washed the convertible car seats from our other kids numerous times. We always just wipe fond the belt part with warm soapy water.

    Eta: forgot a word.

  • Confirm with your manual to be sure but I think most liners can be machine washed on gentle cycle, NO bleach. Let it air dry. Then wipe the straps and buckles with just a wet washcloth.

  • Thanks ladies. @danaadell‌ I have a peg too. I will look in the manual later and confirm I can wash it then see if I can get the liner off. :)
