• What is the benefit of getting a Britax car seat with a naturally flame-retardant cover?

  By using a tightly woven fabric construction that is naturally flame-retardant, Britax helps reduce the child’s exposure to certain chemicals. While all brands must meet the same flammability standard, there are different ways to do this.

• Is my FR Free car seat cover safe to machine wash and dry?

  Yes, thanks to the tightly woven fabric construction (non-wool), your cover is safe to machine wash and dry to get back on the road faster. And there is no added FR chemical treatment for the agitation cycle to break down. Always refer to your car seat cover care label for specific instructions and be sure to replace the cover after 30 washes, to help ensure optimal quality and prevent fading.
