I just pulled out my son's car seat buckle to clean it. It had over 4 years of food growth on it.
Please, everyone, clean your car seat buckle!

Cleaning the car seats!
As I am working through the final edit of Chapter 3, Getting From Here to There, I am recommending all the things that new parents should consider when transporting their baby. One of them is buying a car seat that is easy to clean.
Wow! I had not cleaned the buckle of my Britax Boulevard until today. It has been sticking and spontaneously releasing the straps. Not good. I finally took the time to read the owner's manual to find out how to remove and clean it and Wow, I learned two things:
1) It was incredibly easy to remove the buckle.
2) It was incredibly disgusting!
The manual recommends cleaning it using just warm water. So I filled a cup with warm water and stuck the buckle in to loosen up the 2 years of juice, cookies, milk, and other substances. After a few minutes, I looked at it and it was almost tea colored! Eww! So I dumped it and put some fresh water in and soaked it again. Same thing happened! I'm on my 3rd soaking now.
I really hope this helps my DD stay buckled in tight now.
