question about replacement covers...

I had a parent ask me about replacement covers for her seat. I told her that she needed to go with a cover made by the seat manufacturer... (she was looking into some home-made custom thing she found online.) As far as I know this isn't allowed because who knows how much padding and such is in a seat that isn't crash tested with the seat. I told her I'd ask here and see if anyone knew more than that... maybe Britax should make more cute replacement covers :)

Right, they are a pretty major no-no, because the manual says so, because they may not fit, because they haven't been crash tested, and because they DO NOT meet anti-flammability standards. Besides, they aren't nearly as durable as the real ones, which have gone through extensive testing (UV rays, having fake 'sweat' poured on them to make sure they don't fade, abrasion testing...plus if they have a problem, Britax frequently replaces them free).
