• Does the Nanotex fabric keep my child cool and dry?

  The Nanotex fabric is moisture-resistant, making it easy to wipe away spills. The main benefit is to prevent stains from setting into the seat.

• Are there more chemicals in Nanotex? Is it less safe against baby's skin?

  Not Greenguard Gold certified (because FR has been added), but still free of PFOS, PFOA, heavy metals, phenols, phthalates, odor & skin sanitizers. Furthermore, the Nanotex chemistry does not leach, by design, so nothing can transfer from the textile to skin. It also has silver-ion technology, so they will remain clean and odor-free.

• Is Nanotex just on the fabric of the seat, or is it also on the harness?

  The Nanotex fabric can be found on the stroller and car seat covers including the belly pads and comfort pads. The Infant Car Seat boot and canopy are also made with Nanotex fabric and the stroller canopy and storage basket as well.

• What is a recommended cleaning solution for Nanotex?

  ½ Tsp mild detergent, such as Dreft®, to 1 cup of water.

• Is Nanotex machine washable?

  Britax recommends hand washing and air drying your Nanotex cover.

• Is Nanotex fire-retardant?

  Yes, Nanotex fabric is naturally fire retardant.

• What is Nanotechnology?

  Nanotex changes the fiber on a molecular level, becoming a part of the fiber that enables the textile to permanently resist spills and stains. It really is amazing and it really is chemistry – Nanotex changes the surface energy of the fabric, making it resistant. The lower the surface energy, the more resistant the textile is.
