I was browsing and noticed someone suggesting a seat not be used if the straps had been cleaned with a chemical cleaner.

And I began to reflect...

Stomach flu/car seat disaster. Couple years ago. I'm almost certain I cleaned it up with something like Lysol or 409. Wanted the germs and stink OUT.

The other seats...I can't remember anything specific. Just that I didn't learn until recently that it was a no-no, so I may have spot cleaned with something when they started looking grungy, and I know there were other stomach flu/spit-up episodes, just not certain which seat the child would have been in at the time.

So, what to do?

Do I have to throw the seat away?? My oldest seat is 2003, and it is the one that would have been drenched in cleaner from the terrible mess.

Contact the manufacturer and order a new harness. It should be less than $20 depending on the brand.

Yep, order a new harness.
