  I didnt do it with the carseat cover because I was afraid i'd never get it back on.  But most of the other stuff I did.

  agreed.  And that was one of my top baby items.  I'm not sure if I'll need one this time, but you bet your but that I'm going to put it on my registry just incase we have a cold march!

  I did.  I washed everything I possibly could.  but then again I was in crazy nesting mode and if I could have fit DH in the washing machine also I probably would have.  lol

  ETA:  even though they're swaddled their faces can rub up against everything and I kind of thought that was gross to have his cheek laying on something that hadn't been washed.  but that's just my opinion.

  Me too!  My car seat doesn't come apart but I used a antibacterial baby-safe wipe on that.  I seriously wiped or washed everything.

  Thanks ladies! I already washed the lining of the car seat that we are keeping in my moms car (it was my nieces and I know it was never in an accident and it's not expired) so maybe I will take mine out of the box now and see if I can take it apart to wash as well. I have the bundle me (you read my mind, kendra) and the changing pad cover in the wash as we speak. I think I'll just wash anything that's not tacked down since I'm stuck at home w/ no car lol. Or maybe I wont haha. Thanks again everyone

  I washed most stuff. However make sure you take everything out of the boxes and plastic so it can off gas at a minimum.

  Anything that I could take off and thought I could put back properly I washed-I still wash all new clothes before I put them on LO.

  me again- i actually washed the cover to the toddler car seat for the first time last night.  somehow sue managed to open her cup and spill sticky pink pediasure all over her seat.  let me tell you- it was a PIA to take off.  you have to basically unhook the car seat from the car to get it off.  which is annoying.  if you are going to try and wash your cover do it before you install the car seat.  maybe common sense but i hate moving the car seat.  i always feel like we need 2 of us to do it properly.
