Machine Washable

Why is it that the covers on my car seat, the high chair and our travelling booster seat are NOT machine washable? Where is the logic in that? And really, if your instructions state that to clean, "Please use a cloth & warm water and wipe down", then really, the entire cover should be plastic. Ever try and wipe down the fabric trim on a high chair? Yeh, try doing that after your child has mashed his food into the fibres. What about when he throws up in his car seat? Try wiping that down with a warm cloth.

Apparently, this is one more thing I need to add to my lessons learned file.

By the way, anyone know if it's easy to get a replacement cover to a high chair because when you machine wash it, the plastic disintegrates.

  1. Oh I sure hated washing my High chair. It had these frilly edges all around it. And that was no fun to wash! The car seat.Holy cow. Try potty training and they have an accident in the car! That is not fun for sure. Oh the joys!

  2. Would it be possible to soak the whole thing in the bathtub and then hang to dry? Or maybe even gentle cycle and hang to dry?
