We have a Foonf but when she threw up, we took it out. Took the seat off and there was still so much throw up that leaked underneath. There were little bits every where. It was a mess. We then let it air out for a week inside the house, in a back bedroom, so it wasn't in the sun in the closed car. We just put DH's seat in my car since he was out of town for work.

Ugh, that sucks. The same happened to us in the Graco. We actually were replacing the buckles anyway, so I think that helped, but we let everything air out in the sun and I think that helped too. Good luck.

DD2 did this several times, but she was just breastfed at the time so it wasn't *too* bad. I hear you're not supposed to wash the straps, but ours were covered and smelled awful. After I threw everything into the wash that I could, I took a tiny bit detergent and poured it over the rest of the seat and straps. I ran the hose over it for a little, let it soak in and then sprayed it down on the highest water level I could get. I let it dry in the sun and it seemed to help the smell.

We had to do this 3 separate times.... baking soda also helped if it was still damp and smelly.

@avivoca: If we were going to keep the seat, we would have, but about 2 months after it happened, we got a new carseat because she had outgrown it (and it was almost expired after 2 kids).
