How to clean a used baby carrier and car seat?

Question

I was giving a used baby infant car seat and a baby carrier (the heavy duty ones). I’m wondering how I should clean them? Should I just throw everything in the wash and hang dry? And then wipe down the carseat itself with Lysol wipes? Baby won’t be here for another 3 months but figured I would clean it Before then to have it ready!

Answer

The carrier can probably be tossed in the wash on a gentle cycle and hung to dry. I would consider very carefully whether you would trust the previous owner of the car seat literally with your child’s life. It is never a good idea to use a seat you don’t know the full history of. It could have been in an accident and potentially not work properly. There are really cheap ones if money is an issue.

Answer

Just google the instructions based on the model you bought. Some can be cleaned. Others not. And no harsh chemicals on the plastic.

Answer

Don’t use anything except water and a mild soap to wipe the straps. You can not put them in the washer. Do not use any kind of chemicals on any part of the seat not even the plastic. The cover you can wash and dry or hang dry depending on the car seat.

Answer

I would just wipe it with wipes if it’s brand new. I never even cleaned mine when I opened it lol
