Question Well... Crap....

I had to wash my DD's Boulevard this week due to a vomit-fest she had on the way home from the park. And by wash, I mean EVERYTHING on the seat needed scrubbed.

Now I can't find the foam cushion that goes under the padding for her seat

I'd swear that I washed it and set it out to dry.... But now I can't find the darn thing

I know that I've put everything together as it's dried/aired out..... But now getting the seat back together I can't find it.

Can I just go to the local fabric store and buy a foam pad and cut it to the same size/shape (I have another Boulevard (in use) that I can use for a pattern).....

darn darn darn darn darn.......

No, but you can call Britax and order a replacement...

How did you wash the harness straps?

You can use it until you get your replacement from Britax.

By hand with only water and lots of fingernail scrubbing (gag). They line dried inside, too.

What can I do until I get the replacement pad??

Do you have another seat you can use or borrow one from a trusted friend? If not maybe its good time to buy a cheap back up?

She's currently in a belted booster. I'm not a huge fan of it, as she's such a squirmy thing.. but it's working until I get the seat put back together.

We've gone through sooo many car seats in the last 7 years that what we don't currently use I wind up gifting to my sister or someone that is in greater need of it than what they're currently using (we've been foster parents and welcomed 7 under the age of 2, forever keeping 5 of those). I keep 2 back-ups... 1 we off-road with and the beltable booster.

I think either the wind took it or a squirrel is SUPER happy right now.

But yeah, that's a huge bummer.

You could also post on Craigslist asking if anyone has an expired Boulevard they need to destroy...

I actually had an epiphany after posting this....

I have a Boulevard in our garage that I'm waiting to destroy after dealing with the insurance company after my BIL was in an accident a few weeks back. Never.Even.Dawned. on me that I had it stuck up in the corner. I grabbed the pad out of it and washed it... Currently waiting for it to dry INDOORS!!!! before I put the seat back together. I figure the pad is okay to use again.... just not the hardware. (thinking on this.... I may even remove the covers and wash them to have on hand for future vomit-fest activities.....

)

Perfect! You should definitely save the cover off of the crashed seat, too.

OMG! Our padding disappeared too! I have no idea where it went. It disappeared when I washed my cover! This was a while ago. LOL I ordered a new one from Britax when I ordered a new harness.
