Sandy – Let me know if you still need the instructions by the weekend. I might be able to scan the instructions then.

My little granddaughter did the exact same thing yesterday, puked in her car seat. No problem, we’ll just take of the cover and wash it. Guess what? not only did we have the same problems getting the cover off, we also have exactly the same car seat as yourself.
Major problem though, we don’t have instruction manual. Whoever thought you would need to keep the instruction manual just to clean the darn thing?
I would be so grateful if someone could scan and send me the instructions on how to remove the cover?

If you knew how to properly feed your child this would not have happened.People with so little sense should not have kids.For more education,perhaps you can learn enough to stop making the child sick.

Ha!! You’ll become very good at dismantling and reassembling the car seat. Won’t take long at all to put it back together, with the practice that is unavoidable.
May be a good idea to wash the seat periodically, rather than wait for a major spill…
Booster seats are a light-weight dream!

“Shevy – Len is from the States (they do things a bit differently there). ”

Ah, that explains it.

I forgot to mention that baking soda takes out the puky smell, very important! Shake some into the washer, wet a rag and put some baking soda on it , then wipe down the plastic shell and the buckles with it.

If the puking is more than a onetime thing keep a couple of plastic grocery bags where you can easily reach them in the car. Even the 2 year old is able to hold the bag and barf into it most of the time. Give Gravol before long car trips, particularly if there are mountains or winding roads involved.

This happened to me – I fed my daughter beans from my breakfast burrito and it ended up in a huge mess all over the car seat that afternoon. Turns out she didn’t really chew them and they expanded and started releasing gasses after meeting with the stomach acid …well you can just imagine the mess…and smell.

My car seat model was the Peg Perrego and it required my husband to unscrew the entire harness set and basically take the seat apart. I also had to pry the syrofoam off and clean in there because the mess was so pervasive. The fabric part of the seat went straight into the wash and came out great. The rest was wipes down thoroughly, then sprayed with Lysol cleaner and then lots of Fabreeze, especially on the harness part.

It took forever. BUT I was reassured that it really was engineered for safety – it seemed very well designed. Just not for taking apart easily.
