a word of advice

TheFannins729

keep your car seat manuals handy.  when your toddler pukes ice cream, and you have to take the seat apart to get the cover off so you can wash it and then reassemble it all, the manual will come in handy.  also know that it may take almost 24 hours to dry completely depending on the seat.

Not a fun way to end the week Fannis! Hope your little man is feeling better.

TheFannins729

oh he's fine.  he shoved his hand down the back of his throat and made himself gag.  febreeze is also my friend.  haha.

we keep our manuals underneath the fabric lining of the seat, so that its never missing. its worked for us thus far.

TheFannins729

yeah, ours is attached under the fabric of the seat (Britax).  But our infant seat isn't like that.  We used to keep that in the glove box.

Same here!...my daughter puked all over her car seat today (not ice cream...but eggs...so horrifying)

Car seat cover is currently air drying as we speak and i am praying for an uneventful evening.

Ugh, my DD does this, too. The high chair cover was the casualty in our house, luckily those dry surprisingly fast

YUP!  I totally concur, I never removed mine from the seat itself.  I can't believe they haven't figured out that sometimes we need these covers to be able to go thru the dryer.

they just want you to spend the extra $70 or whatever to buy a spare cover.
