Strong smell: car seats and accessories

Even after washing, the smell of this fabric permeates the entire living space. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think we'll try the wash again. It smells like chlorine. We bought this as a travel seat for our little one and will update the review once we use it. If we can ever get rid of that smell!

Pros
  • Features PureCosi fabrics without wool or flame retardants, machine washable and suitable for tumble drying
Cons
  • Not as thick as other fabrics

The pig in the lipstick is the Cosco Scenera Next

Cosco Scenera Next (CSN) is this seat. It's a decent, light weight and cheap seat ($50 new, $60 new Deluxe version, $55 Disney version). I owned two. This is the same place for more than double the price. Do yourself a favor and buy the Cosco version. In the picture: top left - Original CSN, top right - CSN Deluxe, bottom left - CSN Disney version, bottom right - Maxi Cosi Romi. If you want this because it doesn't contain any flame retardants, I suggest you google "CSFTL flame retardants" and…

Pros
  • LATCH connectors serve as a handy carrying strap
Cons
  • Available in black only

Terrible chemical smell and very cheap composition. You get what you pay for!

I definitely regret this purchase. We were looking for an extra travel car seat, particularly one that was flame retardant free, and this Maxi Cosi Romi car seat seemed to fit the bill. Without FR there are not so many possibilities! You definitely get what you pay for though - the seat's stitching is comfortable enough, with thick padding, but it's clearly a cheap seat when you're trying to install it, and the plastic frame flexes easily by hand, which turns me off its safety in doubt…

Pros
  • Comfortable plush fabrics and padding
Cons
  • A long time ago
