   you can NOT wash car seat straps. You need to replace the harness on all your car seats that you washed. Washing the straps destroys them and makes them unsafe to use.

   I agree with umothra. You are never supposed to wash straps in a washing machine, or submerge them in water at all. You are only supposed to spot clean them.

   Christine C says:

   Please read the instructions in your car seat manual as to the proper and safe way to wash the harness straps. Then, make a new video. Car seat straps should be washed with a sponge or damp wash cloth. You can even scrub with a toothbrush and baking soda. Never, never, never use detergent on a harness or submerge it in water.

   Holy crap, that's ridiculously unsafe! You should NOT use that car seat after you've put those straps in the wash. You need to order new straps from the manufacturer immediately before ever putting your kids in those seats again. Did you ever even bother to read the manuals for any of your car seats?

   Car seat straps are not supposed to be submerged in water. Please read your manual to find out the proper way to clean those straps, and do not put your children in the seat again until you have ordered new straps from the manufacturer.

   Please do not follow this ladies directions! Read your carseat manual for the proper way to clean carseat straps. Putting them in the washing machine voids the warranty and can cause them to fail in an accident!

   If you have followed these directions, you need to call your car seat manufacturer and have them replace your straps PRONTO. You can not wash harness straps in the washing machine or submerge them in water under any circumstances. Thanks for the video, but this information is completely incorrect.

   This video should be called: "How NOT to wash a car seat"
   If you want to know how to wash your child's car seat READ THE MANUAL THAT CAME WITH YOUR CHILD'S SEAT! I can GUARANTEE this is NOT the way.

   omg, I hope you threw away the harness and called for a new one after you submerged it in water like that. It is very dangerous to submerge the harness of your car seat in water.

    IMPORTANT!!! Washing your carseat with detergent actually takes the Flame Retardant properties out of the fabric!!! You can wash the cover with non-detergant soap. Along with that remember to only spot wash your carseat straps. PLEASE make sure to read the manual that comes with your carseat.

    You can NEVER put car seat straps in a washing machine, never ever ever, it ruins the integrity of the straps and they can fail in an accident. This video needs removed, you are suggesting something very dangerous.

    mushroom says:

    DO NOT EVER PUT CAR SEATS STRAPS IN THE WASHING MACHINE!! Submerging the straps in water weakens the fibres, and compromises their job to hold your child in their seat. What you are saying is dangerous and NOT okay.
    All cleaning information will be in your car seat manual. You go by what it says, and only that. Nothing else. Period.

    This woman is clearly NOT an expert on car seats. NEVER NEVER submerge the straps in water! READ YOUR CAR SEAT MANUAL! Washing the cover in the washing machine might also cause problems. Only take car seat advice from a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.

    I'd be happy to comment. I am a materials engineer. When you saturate the straps, you weaken the webbing. Soap will damage the coating on the straps that strengthens the webbing and it could also remove the flame retardant. In an accident, weakened straps can break. If the straps are saturated with food/drink/vomit, they need to be replaced. You can use a DAMP (not wet) cloth only, no soap. If they are horribly stained or smell bad, just replace them. I'm sure your child's safety is worth it.

    You also apparently prefer a dead baby to an alive one. No one suggested using a dirty seat, if you can't clean the straps well enough with a damp cloth replace them.

    I'm also not so sure you know what the purpose of flame retardants are.

    You need to take this down!
    You NEVER wash the straps.
    You can only wipe them down with a warm damp (barely wet) cloth With mild soap!
    Submerging the straps weakens the fibers and that harness will NOT perform correctly in an accident.
    You also can not use any chemicals on the shell of the seat!
    Read your Manual!

    DO NOT give out carseat advice unless you are a CPST!
    Any washed harnesses need to be replaced!
