So now that I got the peg thingies removed from the XT, I'm ready to wash! It is a Rio cover... any special tips for washing mesh? I have a front loading machine with delicate cycle. TIA!

Mine doesn't need washing yet, but I'd love to hear how yours turns out after being washed. (hopefully good as new!) I am always so nervous about washing carseat covers!

My pink sky frontier came out great after a gentle wash in my front loader...I hope you have the same luck (can't see why you wouldn't :))

I've washed my Radian 80 Super Cool in my front load on gentle twice now and both times it came out perfect.

One thing I found however was that the strap covers are kinda small and would slip under the rubber gasket. So I stick them together and if I can I like to wrap them onto something larger. It doesn't seem to hurt them when they get stuck. They then just don't spend as much time tumbleing in the wash.

Ok, so it has been drying all day and it is still freaking wet in spots :eek:. I know the dryer is a no no but on air only or low would it be ok?

I do. But the I figure that my dryer on Low or even medium isn't any more hot an humid then South Texas weather.

I don't wash my covers often, maybe once or twice a year, we don;t eat in the car very often. So I'm not too worried about messing up the elastic or the cover shrinking.

I don;t over dry it. But I can't see how 20/30 minutes in a druer on low is really going to hurt anything.
