Can you wash the straps?

Hey there! You certainly can, but I would suggest hand washing them. Thanks!,

Yes, can remove the cover, and most buckles and the main strap for washing in the machine. I'd make sure to wash it in cold or warm, and in a cooler drier. Soak the plastic buckle pieces seperately so they don't bang up your machine ;-)

They can be completely undone. They are velcro on the front, so you can adjust while on you. I've never noticed the velcro before, until I was asked to answer this question. I've never adjusted them, nor have I needed to. That's when I realized that all traditional strap adjustments need continual adjusting after washing. This never has. Also, I never dry my sports bras- I always hang them to dry. I hope this answers your question! I love this bra!!! Seriously- this and the Maia (I think that's what it's called) are my faves.

They last longer if you rinse the whole thing after each use and let it dry. I usually jump in the shower with mine on and rinse the strap and the metal parts of the strap. You don't want the metal to corrode due to sweat. I've had my strap since 2009 and it's still working well. The elastic isn't as pristine as it used to be, but it still works.

Yes, I just washed it on cold and let it dry flat. I didn't notice ill effects aside from the strap getting a little tangled.

I have taken the cover off and washed in the washmachine. It takes some doing. You have to undo all the straps and watch just how they go before taking them off. Once all the straps are off the cover will be easy to get off.

I wouldn't see why you'd need to but after all warm water washing machine low speed yes you'd be able too if you take the strap off

Yes and you can actually wash them.....just shake it well after removing it from the drum and then hand wash it. Let it air dry. It's just like new again. I don't know how many times one can be washed. I usually rewash until they start to look a little frayed.

No, you would just want to wash them just like you would any other laundry. Some websites suggest using certain types of detergent, but in the end it doesn't affect the absorbency.

You can hold a good grip. The strap is also very helpful. Like I said in my review the smell of them is a total disadvantage. You literary have to wash them almost every other day. Such an inconvenience!!I would suggest looking at other options.

It's really simple to take off the cover and headrest cover as well. Just unlatch the shoulder belts from the bottom/back of the car seat and you'll be able to slip the straps out of the slots on the cover. You can machine wash and use low heat in the dryer but I had to hang it up and dry to get it very dry. Hope this helps!

Yes it's washable. One side is like a heavy woven nylon, like backpack material. The other side is like a fleece material. The straps are velcro and plastic.

I've had no reason to wash mine yet but I'm sure it could handle being washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. I'm not sure how the Velcro would hold up in the wash.

Yes, you can wash them and yes they're relatively water resistant. There's also waterproof seat insert available for around $10 on Amazon. Also if you happen to change your mind about cover color or pattern you can also purchase replacement covers from Diono but you probably won't have to. We have 6 of these car seats (3 kids, 2 cars) and have used them from birth to school age. Never had any issues with the fabric or seats. It's a solid purchase: well made and very safe.

Don't know. Guess I don't usually think of leather as being washable. They have leather palms and strip on top.

You can wash the vest, but you'll have to take all the weights off the vest first.

Yes you can. The padding velcro's to the chair and is easily removed. I haven't tried putting it in the washing machine, but I have hand washed it in the sink and then dried it in the dryer on low. It's also pretty easy to wipe/scrub while still on the chair after meals and dries in an hour or so.
