Are you able to machine wash the car seat cover?

The covers and pillows may be machine washed cold on delicate cycle. The straps and buckles can be wiped with water but not submerged in water.

You can spot / wipe clean only. It's a great seat overall although if you are looking for something where you can remove the seat sections and machine wash this probably is not the one.

Yes the material is machine washable. A little bit a stretch to get it back on, but it can be done.

Yes, you can wash them and yes they're relatively water resistant. There's also waterproof seat insert available for around $10 on Amazon. Also if you happen to change your mind about cover color or pattern you can also purchase replacement covers from Diono but you probably won't have to. We have 6 of these car seats (3 kids, 2 cars) and have used them from birth to school age. Never had any issues with the fabric or seats. It's a solid purchase: well made and very safe.

You can't remove the cover to wash. We used a carpet/furniture steam cleaner.

It can't be removed, but you can wash the whole seat. It's easy to keep it clean.

Yes you can. The padding velcro's to the chair and is easily removed. I haven't tried putting it in the washing machine, but I have hand washed it in the sink and then dried it in the dryer on low. It's also pretty easy to wipe/scrub while still on the chair after meals and dries in an hour or so.

I machine wash mine. It's not as soft but I just can't own something like that if it can't be machine washed.

It's really simple to take off the cover and headrest cover as well. Just unlatch the shoulder belts from the bottom/back of the car seat and you'll be able to slip the straps out of the slots on the cover. You can machine wash and use low heat in the dryer but I had to hang it up and dry to get it very dry. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, no. The seat has elastic hooks that hold the cover to the plastic frame which give the illusion that it can be removed and washed but it is permanently connected to the seat at the bottom. I don't know if that makes sense but I learned the hard way that it only looks as if it can be removed.

Yes, the seat part that holds the baby is machine washable and it is very easy to clean up. My baby enjoyed it up until 6 or 7 months of age when she started crawling more.

The entire seat cover along with the straps comes off easily. I just put them in the washing machine on cold delicate/gentle cycle and air dried them and they were good as new. The straps don't come off separately. They are part of the seat cover.

Dear Sumanth Nemani, Thanks for your question. Yes, the seat pad is machine washable, for better protection please dry it on the delicate cycle. Regards, Michelle S. CSA

They are very easy to remove. The tags said to hand wash, but we chanced it and used the machine. We did let it air dry and it was completely dry within 4-5 hours. My daughter vomited in her seat and you can't see or smell anything. And the cover still looks like new after washing. We were very impressed with the seat overall and cleaning it was very easy.

Yes, you can. We machine washed it many times. If I remember correctly, there's an instruction on the manual for you to follow.

You can easily take off the cover and wash it. I have done it twice already.

Yes, can remove the cover, and most buckles and the main strap for washing in the machine. I'd make sure to wash it in cold or warm, and in a cooler drier. Soak the plastic buckle pieces seperately so they don't bang up your machine ;-)
