How often are replacement pads necessary? Rider will be 7 so not going super fast or doing anything crazy.

My son needed his replaced in about a month, but he did let some of the kids on the block also ride it. May last a little longer if only he uses it.

the pads can be used for a couple of weeks before you would need to throw them out. The stick best the first time u use them and stay on.

Just picked some up! Honestly, for heavy use over a decade, a fresh set of pads is worth it and not pricey at this point... I can't believe they still sell the same model so many years later; it speaks well for the product. Thanks for the link!

I've had mine for three months now and have never had to change the pads. Only rinse them off once.

Proper cleaning and storage mainly. Keeping them free of buildup that can erode the pads. I clean the. Pads of mine once a week and then lubricate the pads with a tiny amount of baby oil. Also store them in a place they won't catch on anything that could pull or rip the pads.

Not very long. I do not recommend this pad if you are in the beginning stages of potty training! My little one had one accident and it went everywhere... I still had to wash her seat.

Yes. The pads can be used many times, they have a long life I have used them for over a year.

Also, forgot to mention, the pads last a long time. I am still using the pads from 2 years ago.

I installed them about 2 years ago on my dining room chairs and have not needed to replace the pads or do any maintenance since then. The pads are quite thick and don't seem to wear or compress very much.

My unit is only a few months old, so I have no need to replace cooler pads..They last very well..Would not the answer be in the parts manual for this unit--Honeywell Customer Service?Great Unit!

Padding is essential! I've replaced mine once since I bought it. It is really required for safety.

If you call the company, they might send you some replacement pads. The number should be in your manual somewhere. Good luck!

I've had mine for almost 2 1/2 years, and use it about 3-5 hours a week. I've had no issues or problems with it. I did add a gel seat pad. The only thing I would change is I'd add a water bottle holder. I just position the bike close to the end table, so I can reach my water. Hope you find a bike that suits you!

In my opinion your safety of you and the passengers in your car its worth buying good only new pads. Cutting corners on safety invites trouble and it may cost you your life.

I seriously doubt that you can get replacements except from the mattress pad manufacturer and that may take so much effort and final cost that I'm sure it would be far easier to simply buy a new pad. Such controls rarely wear out, which is one reason that replacements might be impractical. What happened, did you spill your milk on one? If that is the case, perhaps placing a small clear plastic bag over it might be wise. Good Luck!

I don't remember. The pad has never gone bad. In the past we had to replace the control units--just one, it must have been defective. I have had it a long time

I have not read about the pads wearing out. The foam is very dense - more so than a couch cushion. It springs back to its original shape fairly quickly. When we go front facing I plan on using these as bleacher cushions.
