I can't find my manuals so asking here.


What are safety firsts rules about accidents. DH was in a minor accident with an unoccupied Avenue in the car. Does it need to be replaced?

DS peed in his Scenara. What is the best way to wash the cover and straps?

What kind of accident? Yes I would replace the seat.

I use usually some warm water and dawn to wipe down harnesses. Does the cover come off? Because I usually throw them in the washer in the gentle cycle.

I've always washed covers on a gentle or delicate cycle and line dried. I used the hand wash cycle for one that said hand wash only and it was fine. I don't remember which cover was hand wash only. Straps cannot be washed, but you can use a mild soap and water solution to wipe them. I don't know if the avenue has to be replaced after an accident, sorry.

Safety 1st requires replacement after any crash.

Cover-washing will vary, depending on instructions, but usually hand- or gentle machine-washing is fine.
