I washed our Britax Boulevard cover last night for the first time since we bought the seat in August 2012. The manual said hand wash only so I put it in the washing machine on the hand wash setting! It looks new!
I found 6 bows, 2 hair elastics, tiny rocks and a ton of sand under the cover!

I washed the infant seat cover, since my sister gave me hers and it had been in storage and her attic. It wasn't too dirty but I did find some cheerios.

Nope. I don't think you're supposed to because it affects the fire retardance of the material.

@MamaMoose: I thought that was from machine drying? Could be wrong!

@Mamaof2: yeah, we've had some throw-ups as well and have thrown it in the wash. and my husband sprayed about a can's worth of febreze in the car. that was not helpful. too much febreze = nauseating smell for a week.

Yup...we had a serious blowout in it. That was fun.
We washed on delicate and air dried!

We're still in the infant bucket seat, and I want to wash it, but I can't seem to get it out from under the push button for releasing the strap tightness. We have the Chicco KeyFit30.

We've never had to, but now that I have written that I am sure we'll have an incident.
