It will be airing out for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strong-odor-on-new-car-seat#post-937699 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 07:50:22 +0000 loveisstrange 937699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably just off-gassing. I'd let it sit out and breathe! It should dissipate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strong-odor-on-new-car-seat#post-937681 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 07:45:39 +0000 ladybee 937681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first baby gear item came yesterday and I'm noticing a strong odor coming from it. It's kinda like a chemical odor (think bug spray) mixed with a bag of grass clippings. I'm assuming it just needs aired out?</p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>ETA: It's a Britax B-Safe car seat </p>
