I got a new car earlier this year and wanted it to be neat and clean for the rest of our lives together. But then I let my kids in it. Cleaning the car seat can be a mission into the beyond. You never know what you will find in all the nooks and crannies of that car seat. You might find yourself asking “did I feed my kid that” Well have no fear fellow rookie moms, we have some super simple tips on how to clean a carseat.

How to clean a carseat – Super Simple Tips

how to clean a carseat
As you can see, we can’t even keep the cupholder inserts in their place because they were being used temporarily as a “carseat” for some very small stuffed animals.Ok, who am I kidding? My car was messy before I had the kids, but they have made it seventeen times worse. I mean, I didn’t even have library books or bunny-shaped crackers before I had children.

Let’s also be honest, I am not the type of person to clean a car seat for an hour. We are talking a good 15-30 minutes max, because, hey I’m a mom and I’ve got tiny humans destroying something else as I clean the carseat.

How to clean a carseat – Step 1

Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum – Grab a dustbuster or car vacuum (update my minivan has a built in vacuum Say what!), and suck all those goldfish, rice treats and cheerios right on up.

Step 2 – Use some q-tips for all the nooks and crannies

As a Q-tip tipster, I’m sharing this carseat-cleaning concept with you today in the form of a video which I filmed in my driveway. It is super easy. Grab some soap and water or your favorite cleaning product and use the q-tips to clean all those tiny spots so you don’t spend time jamming your fingers into places they shouldn’t be in the first place

Step 3 – Wash with a little soap and water.

Use a gentle mixture of soap and water to clean the fabric on the carseat (you can also remove the car seat fabric and wash it in a washer) and get rid of all the little sticky goo. Leave the carseat in the sun for a quick dry.

Now please tell me your carseat(s) are as crumb-covered as mine.
