Has anyone taken it apart to wash, and THEN put it back together again? I took it apart, but can't figure out how it goes back together. Thanks.

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 put in in the washer under gentle and hung it to dry. I personally wouldn't put it in the dryer I would be afraid it would pill up. It came out fine.

No help -- mine is still in perfect condition. It takes a LOT of room to wash it.

We just take it off and put it in washer. We had an awful vomit experience and had no choice. No breakdown so far after 5 washes.

Actually it works fine after washing. I actually washed it when I first got the thing. Just be very gentle with it washing. While I'm sure it's pretty durable, I'm sure if you abuse it too much it might break.

Haven't put mine in the wash yet, but it looks to be sturdy construction. I'm going to give it a shot on gentle cycle and see what happens. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

I have washed it in the washing machine, it has survived it several times. But use a gentle cycle. :)

As the others have answered it does not come apart. I wanted to add that our son got sick on a recent trip. We placed the seat in the shower and after removing it we quickly rubbed with a towel and set it out for the fabric to dry. It dried very quickly.

I simply unzipped it and washed it in the washing machine. Air dry it or dry it on low heat though. I forgot to turn the temp down on one of the three covers (I own 3 of these beds) and it was a bit difficult to get it back on.

This happened to mine. All you need to do is remove the fastener that holds the two pieces together and separate, clean in soapy water and reassemble, just don't tighten it as much as the factory did.

I throw it in the washing machine and the dryer and it comes out beautiful -- no shrinking, unwrinkled.... I've already washed it a half dozen times -- it's holding up like new...hope this is helpful.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

I washed in warm water (not hot) and tumbled dry. It's coming apart at the seam so I think it's a sewing issue.

I washed it in the washing machine - delicate cycle. Low heat/delicate dry. Or hang dry. When it came out of the washer, it was a bit twisted inside, but I was able to fix no problem. The 2nd one I purchased when it came out of the washer it was twisted too much. I ended up cutting at the seam a 1/4" length and used the back end of a pencil to smooth & straighten it. Then I stitched it up. Worked quite well and not a ton of hassle. After the initial machine wash for both of them, I just hand wash or wipe with wet cloth since.
