How Bad is the Damage?

I was wondering had bad my MIL has damaged my Roundabout. When we went to the drive-in last night she decided to spray DS with bug spray while he was still straped in his seat. :mad: Of course I'm about to wash the cover, but I'm kinda worried about the harness. I just replaced the harness last year and I really don't want to replace them again if I don't have to because I have less than 1 1/2 year left on the seat.

Thanks,
Jessica

What kind of bug spray was it? If it were something like Off that had a lot of chemicals in it I would be inclined to replace the harness. If it were something like Burt's Bee's with more natural ingredients I might just try wiping it down and leave it. I would make sure you can get the smell out though, regardless. Even the natural stuff has a strong smell to it, and I wouldn't want to be breathing that for the whole car trip, I can't imagine a child would :)

Thanks for the replies. And yep, it was OFF! I still don't understand why she did that as it's just not something you should spary in the car, or while standing next to a stranger's infant :eek: I'll try to stop ranting about my MIL and get to ordering a new harness.

I have seen quite a few mums spray sunscreen and bug spray while their kids are still strap in their stroller or infant car seat.

I guess they think its easier since the child is strap down?
