The fabric can be removed and cleaned. Only the crotch strap can be removed the shoulder straps cannot.

We inspected our floor model and is doesn't look like the fabric is removable...It is stitched on. Please let me know if I can help you with any other car seat questions.Thanks,Mary734.369.6038

I just bought this car seat yesterday 12/21/13 at target and that models shoulder straps are removable, maybe it's only on the newer models.

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.

Yes. There are zippers like a standard cushion so you can take them off and wash as needed.

If you are referring to the foam padding; yes. It is actually just strips of Velcro holding the pads down to the back and the seat. Probably the worst design possible, but still functional at the same time.

Yes the seats are removable and the two velcro strips on the bottom also allow for placement adjustment.

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.

The cover is removable by zipper and the manufacture says it is washable. I haven't washed it yet but I plan on doing so soon.

Yes they are easily removed. Everything is washable. Possibly the easiest high chair to clean that we have ever owned.

The seat cover is cloth, and I have not found a way to remove and wash it :( the tray is also extremely hard to slide on/off. Requires two hands.

The seating upholstery is actually padded, washable, and removable, attached at strategic points by Velcro strips. You could insert a bit of extra padding without compromising the attachment, or if you are ambitious you could create some heavier padding and attach to the same Velcro points.

The cover is removable and I've placed it in the washing machine on gentle, air dry. Spot clean the straps.

No, they are not removable, but they do store under the seat and are easy to wash.

Yes it is removable and washable. Good seat overall but be aware, Fabric does not breathe well--baby's back always sweaty and hot even when relatively cool out.

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 ;-)

The seat is stitched so it cannot be washed. But it is made of a nylon material that can be wiped easily.

I have had this for about six months now. All the fabric is removable and washable. The pillows, back and seat cushions all have zippers. The cover over the body and arms lifts off. I have not washed mine; I just use my Bissell upholstery cleaner for spots. My main concern with washing it would be the ironing it would take; it took a lot of ironing just to get the wrinkles out from shipping.

No, the pad itself is foam covered in non-removable vinyl. It is hand washable and wipeable, and there are covers you can buy for it that can be machine washed, but the entire thing is not machine washable.

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.
