cleaning foam pad, Roundabout?

Unregistered · May 8, 2008

Hi everyone~

My 2 year old just puked ALL OVER herself and her Roundabout carseat. We were out when it happened and so I had to wipe her clean as much as possible (not enough wipes in the world!) and then drive home. At home I got her clean and down for a nap before I got to cleaning the carseat & after that amount of time, some of the wetness had soaked into the grey soft foam pad under the seat cover. Can I clean that? Not the white styrofoam, but the, oh I don't know maybe 1 inch thick grey foam that make the seat "soft". It wasn't stuck down or attached to the seat or the cover at all. I don't want that lovely pukey smell to stay there and then stink up the car every hot summer day! The manual doesn't even mention this piece of foam, that I can find, and BRITAX is of course, now closed for the day... if I can wash it, or even spot wash it, I'd need to do it now so it can dry overnight.

any advice? Can it be spot-cleaned?

THANKS in advance!

I've putt the whole seat in the shower and sprayed it down with the hand held sprayer. I don't see how that's any worse than getting vomit on it. It does take forever to dry if you don't towel dry it first.

I have washed the foam padding in the sink before. The left it out to dry.

Yep, I have giving mine a literal bath. It is a cheap part to replace, but the shipping is a killer.
