ok so not an ideal night to post this but i promise i won't be selling it on!

i lent a friend my carseat and when she gave it back it had a couple of small patches of mould on the parts of the seat cover that feel a bit plasticky (if that makes sense) i washed it, soaked it and tried vanish, bleach and WD40 but it seems ingrained....any ideas please

perhaps see how much it would cost to get a replacement seat cover? mould can cause breathing difficulties for a baby if it is a group 0 car seat.

A bit on your friends part I think. Did she acknowledge that she left you with mouldy seat.

That's rather poor form from your friend.

How old is the car seat though? Did you know that car seats only have a 6 year life from date of manufacture, so if it's older than that then you should bin it anyway. Details here.

only just seen other replies...it's 4 years old...if i can't get the marks out i prob will bin it...had planned to pass it on but it doesn't seem reasonable now
