How Do You Get Out Mold!!

You really shouldn't use it. If u put a "brand new set of lungs" in that seat and that baby has any reaction to that mold, it can be a disaster. They are too susceptible to those hidden things out there in the world. Mold can do some pretty good damage to a set of lungs before you even know it.

Hi A.,
Congratulations on your 2nd baby. When I wanted to use the old carseat from my first child for my 2nd I called the company and ordered a new cover for it to have a clean one and to also have a different pattern. I would think that you could order the straps if they can be re-threaded and that would make it safer. Mold is tricky and if they can't be replaced then I would unfortunately throw it out. I wouldn't trust that the mold hadn't settled within the car seat.

Good Luck,
E. C

try 1 part bleach to 2 parts water and if that does not work I would toss. Mold can cause resp troubles.

I'd use a bleach solution. 1T bleach to 1 to 2c water. Mold just vanishes when bleach comes in contact with it. On a light surface it is pretty neat to watch (I need to get out more).

I have used Oxy Clean. My daughters shirt had some black mold spots on it from being left damp in the basement. I soaked the shirt in Oxy Clean and water solution for 6 hours. It still had a few spots so I rinsed it out and soaked it for six more hours, in a fresh mix of the cleaner. It came out good as new. Good luck.

I've read that white vinegar kills mold. I can't vouch for that, but I've read that. Good luck!

Order new cover and straps, or buy a new carseat. Don't risk your new baby's breathing. Mold can be very very dangerous.
