Has anyone tried to wash the fabric? If so, was it easy to remove from the poles?

I have only spot cleaned this. I have not tried to wash the fabric, for one I believe it would shrink some and maybe not fit on the poles. But this is my opinion!

It's actually not that easy...I don't think? I just tried and I think you have to pull the seat out to take the fabric out. It would be easy if you actually pulled to take the seat out, but I didn't try.

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.

We washed our 2 with no problem. Let them air dry on the clothes line & air out for a week of sun, wind & rain! No problems. Hope this helps you. God bless!

It's a material that wouldn't really be needed to be taken apart and machine washed. I can't see it holding much in the fabric. I've literally hosed it off in the driveway and left it on the porch in the sun to bake and dry. We've had ours for two summers, we hike religiously with it, and no funky smells or anything. Even had a potty training accident in it once.

I haven't had to remove it to wash it because it is very easy to clean with a wipe or damp cloth. Hope this helps. It is a great car seat.

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 am not sure exactly what you mean by taking it apart. You only need to undo the velcro, insert the metal poles back into the holes that are in the "basket" part of the carrier after washing it. The rings that the straps attach to slip through slits in the seat part. Once you do it you will see how simple it really is. I know crazy isn't it!!!

I haven't had to wash mine yet...but the fabric does seem like it would hold up...maybe gentle cycle. But I thought it was a good buy.

Yes it is fabric and I just wipe them off with a wet rag and it has worked well getting stuff off of them.

It should be relatively easy to slip off the fabric to wash. The assembly took all of five minutes so it won't take more than that to unscrew just one side of the frame to slip it back off. I just can't say if it's washing machine safe.

It's very easy to remove for washing. I have cleaned mine both by hand with a food safe cleaner and in my washer using regular detergent. Either way worked out. I think I put it in a mesh bag in my washer, but it wasn't even necessary. To keep it clean from dust, I made my own cover for the peel with a pillowcase I cut down and some Velcro. I hang it in my pantry on a large plastic 3M Command hook affixed to a shelf-free wall. Love the product and use it all the time for bread making

I would try a small amount of mineral spirits dabbed on the fabric until its gone. If you can launder the item I would then use spray and wash on that spot and wash the item.

Yes. Kind of a pain the first time but once you do it once you will know how to remove next time without booklet. And I recommend hand washing it. We have washed things in the past that were supposed to be hand washed only and we ended up ruining them. Good luck and it's an awesome seat!

I haven't seen it as we sent it to our grandson in NY. I called and asked my son this question and he said yes, one pole poked through at the bottom of the fabric but he thought it was no big deal. They do put it up and take it down a lot as it is much bigger than one would think by the dimensions. That probably is why the pole poked through. I think if you had a place large enough to keep it up that that wouldn't happen. This is strictly an indoor play tent.
