My girl isn't really a leaker or a spitter-upper. She's still in it at 18 months, and she does eat in it quite often. I just make sure to feed her stuff that doesn't stick or stain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-648189 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:02:46 +0000 pinkcupcake 648189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our infant car seat stayed pretty clean but the convertible is getting pretty bad since lo is constantly eating snacks in there. We have a black one but it still looks dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-648157 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:33:47 +0000 chopsuey 648157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our infant seat didn't get dirty at all.<br /> I did wash it once before baby 2 arrived though. </p> <p>So far I've only washed our convertible cover once. DD eats and drinks in the car but its stayed surprisingly clean.<br /> Neither of our seats are dark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-648150 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:28:21 +0000 immabeetoo 648150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: Mine looks brand new - he's spit up on the pads once but I washed them. We used it once a week months 1 &amp; 2 and almost every day for the past 6 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-648119 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:52:10 +0000 loveisstrange 648119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was light gray and did show some dirt, not too bad though! It had vomit, pee, poop... god you name it. They do get dirty, but as anbanan said, they wash well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-648091 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:23:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 648091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually car seat and strollers are made out of great fabric that wipes off. We have a silver stroller and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-648064 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:06:20 +0000 DillonLion 648064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a beige one which masks the ungodly amount of spit up all over it. Luckily it washes well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-647930 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:33:06 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 647930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo threw up his very first time in the car seat. We weren't even outside! I think darker would be better, but I also just expect baby stuff to get gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-647831 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:33:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 647831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's infant carseat looks brand new! I'm surprised with how good it's stood up and we never even had to wash it. But then again, we don't really go out much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-647822 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:23:34 +0000 anbanan15 647822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it gets dirty, but they wash well!</p> <p>We got a Graco Snugride at the last minute in platinum (basically tan-ish. Matched well with the tan/black city mini). DS vomited a lot so there was tons of breastmilk vomit all over that thing. Washed up so nicely that you can't even tell it was there! I love the tan/beige colors too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dirty-to-infant-car-seats-get#post-647804 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:15:54 +0000 Charm54 647804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really interested in the Uppababy Mesa and the color that I love is "wheat" (basically beige). My mom said it's a bad idea since car seats get filthy and the color will show the dirt. </p> <p>I get that the stroller will get dirty (we chose red for that reason), but do infant car seats get dirty too? Should I go with a darker color to hide the dirt? </p>
