Is my seat ok?

On vacation and DD somehow got the spout out of her leak proof water bottle (I think her brother helped her :mad:) and totally soaked her Scenera. The cover and such is totally wet, but it'll dry. But the crotch buckle and bottom of the side harness parts were totally drenched too. I know you're not supposed to wash straps, etc. Was this too much water? Or is it fine. I could go get another one tomorrow if I need to...just rather not spend the money if I don't have to.

Per their FAQ, Dorel allows you to wash harnesses in water and mild soap, but not to immerse the buckle in water. I guess you have to make a judgment call about whether or not the buckle could be considered "immersed." If it were your electric griddle (or some other kitchen appliance that says "do not immerse"), would the amount of water it got count as immersing it?

Me neither. I'd stick them in front of a fan or a blow dryer on low heat, or set it in the sun if the weather agreed.

Crap happens. Kids spill and leak. Even Dorel knows that. From my understanding, it's when harness straps are actually submerged or treated with harsh-ish soaps, etc.

So, unless the straps were threaded INTO the water bottle, which had atleast a partial bleach makeup, I wouldn't be worried about it.:)
