Washing car seat covers

[Steggie]

A quick question...

I have a Creatis car seat (goes with the Loola) but I cannot find the washing instructions.

Is is ok to put the car seat covers in the washing machine?

Many Thanks,

I have a Silver Cross and Britax car seat that both say hand wash only.

I put them on a 30 wash and then spin them. Works a treat. I also do it with my highchair seat cover.

I have done a creatis on a 30 degree delicates cycle. Dont tumble dry tho!

I've done Britax ones on a standard 40 degree wash. Came out good as new.

Have done maxi cosi ones, even hand washing them kills them - grrrrrrrrrrr

I've done maxi-cosi loads with no problems, put in a pillow case (not sure why really, just seemed the thing to do) and put on a 30 deg wash. Comes out good as new.

maxi-cosi cabrio? Or other ones? I've ruined about 3 of them!

CarGirl - Yeah, the cabriofix, never had a problem. I was really impressed at how well they washed actually, sorry!

If it makes a difference it was the 'Black Reflection' cover. I even sold the car seat on ebay after it had been washed loads and got about £60 for it!

Hmmm think mine were much more cotton and it was the heat sealed edges that came undone the actual fabric was okay.

Sounds like your cover was different to ours, I think our edges were sewn seams rather than heat sealed (I think). I'd have been gutted if I'd ruined mine, I'll hold my breath when I wash the covers on the new cabrio I've just bought!

Perhaps that's why the newer ones are stitched, I ended up having to stitch mine!

And again... you need to pay for adverts Hania. It's reeeeeeaaaaally not very subtle

just put them in the mashine running the wool cycle.
