my child still gets carsick even at 3 years, how do I wash the cover as I can't just wipe it clean, the smell would linger horribly!!

I have taken the cover off and washed in the washmachine. It takes some doing. You have to undo all the straps and watch just how they go before taking them off. Once all the straps are off the cover will be easy to get off.

The cover comes off - take it off and hand wash it. google britax frontier 90 pdf for user manual.

Take it off, all the covers can be removed, all BRITAX materials are to be used in laundry machine and dryer, I've washed the carrier and baby carrier, it did not loose any color, yes I've got to take them off from the Frontier 90, cause my 2 year old girl drinks too many liquids and the diaper got to it's limit so the seat also has a smell.

I have washed the cover 3 times. Just don't use fabric softener as it will bind to the fire retardant material. Use a gentle cycle and air dry.

I have washed it on the hand wash cycle without problems, but I would not recommend this seat. There are to many places for food/stuff to get stuck in the arm rest when not using the tray and the cover is to hard to keep stuff out of the corners. I spent $16 on another seat at WalMart and I love it.

The cover is made of a plastic-like material, so you can wash it with a wash cloth and soap, or I have used Clorox wipes on it and let it dry. I have a cloth changing pad cover on mine and change them out when they get dirty. It makes it really easy. Good luck!

Honestly I don't like it. No matter if you wash it or air dry it never smells right after use. The foam is thick enough to hold baby in any position is just the smell I couldn't get rid of. Wash in washer and dry in dryer, even tried hand washing and air drying.

We have not had to wash it to this point. I would put the question to the manufacturer at http://www.khmfg.com/deluxe-car-seat-saver.html if Carol's message doesn't satisfy your concerns.

Very bad smell actually: Probably paint's or MDF's. It will eventually go away unfortunately after the kidz have inhaled it for a while.

I haven't had it for very long and my boys are only in the car 2 or 3 times a month so I really haven't found the need to wash it yet but ... not sure I would chance machine washing for $$$.It should be easy enuff to keep clean by just brushing or vacuuming any dry dirt and/or spot cleaning all else with damp spong and mild detergent.

No, not at all, it's been left with milk in it under the car seat (forgotten) for a few weeks last summer and it completely washed out with soapy water and a bottle brush with no smell at all. If it was plastic, we'd have to chuck it.

I never purchased a cover and really never thought about one since my LO is usually swaddled when placed on the lounger. I usually place him on the lounger after meals because it props him up to avoid spitups. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've wiped the lounger down with a wet cloth, but have yet to put it in the washing machine. It says dry with tennis balls. It's white, grey and yellow, you would never guess that it hasn't been washed. I'm 4 months in on this baby thing so now this question has presented with a new task -Wash lounger. �

I'm with Mantej! Baby boy spit up all over his set. I threw it in the washer and dryer and it came out just fine. I wasn't even aware that it had to be hand-washed.

Hell Yeah man! we love our covers and they work amazing with carseats. We have two messy princesses and they clean up real nice with just a clorox wipe or even a baby wipe.

Absolutely! My two year old is always spilling or getting cookie crumbs everywhere. We take it off, which is simple and you don't have to remove straps or anything to get it off, and then just toss it in the wash. Make sure you dry it on medium or low heat, there is a couple plastic pieces that can warp and bend out of shape if you dry on high heat. This car seat is AWESOME!!!!!!

The smell goes away after a while. I would spray it with fabreeze or something like that It has cardboard inside and washing it would destroy it.

I have had great success washing all of my Britax covers. That being said, it is not recommended that you do it often.

I actually didn't get rid of the odor. It did go away after a few weeks of being outside in the toy shed. How ever I did have to wash it once cause my boys got it covered in mud. When I washed it I used auto soap that I normally use on my car. After that point there was a mild odor still from the car but now it has no odor at all. So it will go away with time.

We had an unfortunate vomit situation yesterday. I took the cover off and sprayed everything (seat too) with the hose. Then I put the cover in my washing machine. I used the gentle cycle to wash, and the air dry cycle to dry. It looks perfect, and doesn't smell like spoiled milk anymore! ;)
