Hi all – We have gotten a couple of questions recently about how to correctly clean a car seat, especially with COVID-19 concerns. Your car seat manual and the tags on the cover of your seat should have cleaning instructions. If you have a specific concern about COVID-19 germs on a car seat, please reach out to your car seat manufacturer and ask to speak to a CPST about cleaning the seat correctly. Many of the products (e.g., bleach, Lysol wipes, etc.) recommended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are not allowed by car seat manufacturers.

This article has excellent information about cleaning car seats in general, and includes the guidelines that each manufacturer adheres to: https://csftl.org/clean-my-car-seat/.

Please feel free to send us a Facebook message or email savingprincewilliamslittles@gmail.com with any questions. Thank you!
