car seat has mold 😭

I was reusing the infant car seat and stroller that I had from my older son for this baby. I just went to get it out of the storage container in the garage that I put it in over the weekend because we were trying to get some things out of the way while we moved things around and now the car seat has mold. I'm so so sad because that's my baby's car seat and it's just ruined 😭 all the memories in it with him (especially since car rides were his favorite) and not to mention it was one item I was excited not to have to rebuy for this baby. Oh hormones and nostalgia also feeling like an idiot for not bringing the car seat back inside. It's been dry here I definitely didn't think that would happen in 48 hours 😔
Any recommendations for really good infant car seats that won't cost an arm and a leg? Safety is first so I will splurge if necessary obviously but definitely looking for reasonable prices 💙 thanks in advanceÂ
