Can you remove and wash the straps?

yes, the straps through the back portion (shoulder straps) can be removed and thoroughly cleaned but the strap which feeds between the legs cannot be easily removed. The "leg" strap attaches from inside the center post. You may be able to remove the strap if you dismantle the post

yes, the straps appear to be easily removed and then reinstalled. We love this chair.

The strap should be okay to rinse with water and a mild detergent, although I haven't tried this myself. I'd hand wash it and let it air dry. If you're worried about odor, just wash it in a 75/25 water/white vinegar solution.

Nope, they cannot be removed to wash. I really did not care much for these headphones, no matter the price.

you can unclip the harness as you can adjust them to different hights but I don't think you can completely remove them. Although I haven't tried. I used this when my son was 2 months old though and he was fine :) I just layered the bottom with blankets

Yes, the shoulder straps are removable. They have a buckle attachment. The shoulder straps come in handy, so I leave them on.

I haven't been able to find a way to do that. I had been wondering the same thing. I had the WHOLE thing torn apart after messy episode in the car, and I couldn't remove the straps.

It looks like it would be pretty simple to remove the strap. It is held on by leather straps that look like they could jat be untied

I bought it for my daughter. According to her the straps on the deluxe can be easily cleaned while the original straps not so easily at all. She felt strongly about getting the deluxe. This baby is her first, she may be more relaxed after this one ;)

Yes the shoulder straps are removable and you can just use the waist strap!

Yes. Seat cover can be removed and machine washed. Belts can be spot cleaned (same with all car seats belts should never be soaked). Only thing that can't be removed to wash that I think should be removable is the shoulder pads. The manual gives very clear instructions on how to clean the seat. You can find the complete manual on Chicco's website.

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, pull the flexible plastic part off the bottom. I often wash them separately, may be better to hand wash.

Yes the cover can be removed to be washed. It isn't the easiest thing to take apart and then put back together, but it will come off.

No they can not be removed. They are sewn on to the animal. They can still be washed, but must be hung to dry

I'm not sure if the straps are completely removable but I know that you can use the lap straps alone.

Yes they can. Just unscrew the plastic part from one end of the steel bar and slide out the steel bar. Beware though to follow recommendation to wash it in cold water. I washed mine in very hot water on the sanitizer cycle and when I took it out the stitching came loose under the steel bar and the bag is now unusable.
