does anyone have problems cleaning the straps since they cannot be removed? my boy is a very messy eater !

Being that the straps nonremovable makes it more difficult to clean, but they can be cleaned with cleanser/soap & water while still attached to the seat...obviously, they will be wet, but will air dry just fine. It's worth it, to have straps. :)

The straps swivel as well so it helps. I have a messy eater too and the seat is pretty easy to clean up.

I have no problems. We've had it a few months now. I just treat them like carseat straps. Mild soap and warm water. Wipes clean! :)

Definitely seems to be a flaw. We didn't have a lot of issues the straps are nylon and didn't really stain.

I haven't had that problem, though I haven't chewed on them myself. Have used them in daycare and they are cleaned twice daily and the most popular chewing toy among the crawlers. I will say they are not ideal if there are dogs around, as the small dog at the place I nanny will chew them up if given the chance.

I have been able to keep mine clean with just a bit of water on a cloth. Spot cleaning. I use the bag nearly every day & keeping it clean this way hasn't been a problem. I even carry lunch in my bag sometimes. I would be hesitant to use chemicals on it... I really treasure my bag.

I've not had any problems. It has a slot to remove it is positioned in a way that to get it off you must lift straight up when the toddler seat is in the down position.

Yes. The padding on the Infant SafeSeat is removable for machine wash on the delicate cycle. Drip dry. The metal and plastic parts may be cleaned with mild soap and water and wiped dry with a cloth or towel. To clean the buckle, use a damp cloth or sponge. The harness straps may be spot cleaned. Never use bleach to clean this product.

We never tried cleaning them. I thought they were considered disposable. If you have figured a way to clean them please let me know.

I personally have not had this problem and have had the tall feeder for over a month now. The care instructions recommend wiping the feeder daily to avoid this happening and I try to do this. I know this doesn't answer your question about solving the problem after it occurs, but hopefully this will help others know how to avoid it, and that it doesn't necessarily happen. My dog gets most of her drool on the floor, so I don't really have much to clean up on the feeder :)

I have not had an issue with them unscrewing the parts. Are you sure you have it tight enough. My dogs roll it all around and eat kibble as it falls out. I have small dogs.

We took off the top hooks, un-threaded the whole strap, put the waist clip back on, re-threaded through the little sliding length adjuster. You will have some strap still dangling, because it is long, but it is working for us and way easier to load and unload our twins. They would hate being strapped down! This is on the 2009 version, but I think the straps are the same. Does this make any sense to you?

The entire seat cover along with the straps comes off easily. I just put them in the washing machine on cold delicate/gentle cycle and air dried them and they were good as new. The straps don't come off separately. They are part of the seat cover.

I have not heard any complaints from him about the clean up. He always washes it (hand wash) right after use so food comes off easily.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there. But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

I spilled carrot baby food on the bag and it wiped off. I've also washed it on gentle cycle and dried it on low with no problem.

I had this problem at first as well, if you make sure to loosen the straps all the way and give them a firm tug they come out pretty far. Sometimes they get caught up or bound.

I got two teething feeders. Each one came with an extra mesh bag which can be replaced and cleaned while the other is being used. I love it. It works. Ps....don't let the food stay on the mesh bag, rinse it to prevent heavy staining. Hope this answers your question.

We had no problems until my daughter threw up spaghetti in it...I don't think i'll ever get the stains out :/ I still love it though very cute chair and my daughter likes it and is comfortable.
