does the head come off for cleaning ( washing) ? Is it velcro attached? Has anyone purchased this recently? ( 2014) Thank you

Yes, the head may be removed and hand wash it in cold water with a mild soap and air dried. The head is attached with velcro.

Yes, Gustavo, the head is detachable. Sorry for the delay in responding to you.

No the head does not come off. If you have enough room on the floor of your car the machine will fit on the floor and the hose is long enough to do upholstery and the floors. It a great buy, I use my quiet oftren.

The bottom is attached - it doesn't come off. I have a larger one that Velcros, but I actually like this one better because it's all one piece.

I haven't washed it. If it needed cleaning I'd have it dry cleaned to prevent that sort of thing.

There is a velcro panel on one of the backsides of the cover. Comes off very easily and washes up in the washer. Seems to do better if you do not use softner if you use the dryer? I just hang them on a chair back myself.

The whole thing (all fabric) comes off leaving only two fabric straps which aren't removable. All of the inserts, bedding can be thrown in the washing machine. Washes up nicely. I've done it several times. Once you strip fabric, you're left with the plastic and metal frame and two fabric straps. Sorry forgot, the very top headpiece doesn't remove I don't believe but that really shouldn't ever get dirty since the baby isn't touching that ever.

i have not yet cleaned it only aired it out. I intend to wash it in a gentle warm wash in the washing machine when it needs it.

I have not tried to remove it yet...but I have a fluffy blanket in there for my daughter and she sleeps through the night - hope that helps. I will see if I can detach the headrest tonight (now I am curious)

No Velcro. It's a really large heavy pad. I'm not sure how you could hold it to your head. Maybe the smaller size would be better. The soft cover is removable. You might be able to adapt some attachments to the cover. Maybe tie some extra long shoelaces around it to hold it to your head.

I haven't tried but i think it is removable. it did say to wash by hand so if you remove make sure you do that.

I've washed it several times in the machine and then air dried it. The headpiece liner I couldn't figure out how To get off bc it had an elastic securing it that I couldn't get unconnected. I gave up and cut it, and it never affected the way it fit back on. I've washed it about 3 times and it still fits fine and looks good

No, the head does not come off but it's diameter is not very large so you might be able to slide the hose over it.

It washes in the washing machine. You may just need to manually take the hair out of the Velcro part.

Unfortunately the headrest is not detachable but it's not thick so you shouldn't have a problem with baby .. You can take the whole thing off to wash

The cover is removable for easy washing. Line dry only. I'm not exactly sure how it is different, but I've noticed the other ones have a velcro strap for tightness. I prefer this one over the velcro one just incase the velcro was to come loose. Hope this hepls.

The puppy head is attached by a band of fabric to the fabric cover. There is a star shaped insert that goes under baby's butt that is removable. This is good for easy cleaning (i have found quite often if my baby has an accident, i can just take the star insert out to wash instead of the whole thing. Although, the puppy ears do tend to fall in baby's face, so i safety pin the ears to the main fabric piece to keep everything in place. Still, this is one of the best baby purchases i've made!
