Kids' Seats |
| 12 min - Today let’s tackle the places where our kids sit (LOL!). We all have a spot that collects crumbs, stale Cheerios, and the occasional Lego piece, whether it’s the car seat, the highchair, the exersaucer, or a couch corner. Give that spot some attention today, wiping away anything that doesn’t belong. If your spot has a removable seat cover, toss it in the washer today. Use your vacuum attachments to get down in the cracks and crevices. If you chose to work on the car seat, give it a good once-over to make sure it’s installed properly and that the straps are at the correct setting for your growing child. |
