Keep your Regalo My Chair Portable Booster Seat fresh with a simple cleaning routine for the seat, tray, and straps—plus travel-friendly hygiene habits.

Quick answer

Clean the Regalo My Chair Portable Booster Seat by wiping the seat and tray after each meal, then spot-clean straps and air-dry fully before folding. A quick routine after every use prevents crumbs and spills from becoming a bigger job.

Why portable booster seats need a different cleaning rhythm

A portable booster like the My Chair folds up and travels, so it picks up messes in cars, restaurants, and relatives' kitchens—not just at home. That means you need a routine that works on the go, not just a deep clean once a month. The tray and seat surface take the most contact, while straps and the folding frame collect crumbs and sticky fingerprints in crevices.

The biggest trade-off is convenience versus thoroughness. Wiping quickly after each use keeps the seat usable, but it won't remove dried food from seams or straps. Plan a slightly deeper clean weekly or after any messy meal, and always let the seat dry completely before folding to avoid mildew.

What to avoid when cleaning the My Chair

Avoid soaking the booster seat or submerging any part in water, because the folding frame and straps aren't designed for immersion. Skip harsh abrasives, bleach, and rough scrubbers on the seat and tray—they can dull the surface and weaken fabric. Also, don't put the seat or tray in a dishwasher or washing machine unless the manufacturer's instructions specifically allow it; the catalog doesn't list those allowances, so hand-cleaning is the safer default.

Step-by-step cleaning routine for the My Chair booster seat

Remove the tray and loose debris: Detach the tray and shake crumbs into a trash bin. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe the tray surface and edges. Common mistake: wiping crumbs onto the floor or into the seat's folding mechanism instead of disposing of them. Check the tray underside and corners for sticky residue before reattaching.
Wipe the seat surface: Dampen a cloth with mild soap and water, then wipe the seat fabric and frame. Avoid soaking the fabric; use a barely damp cloth. Common mistake: using too much water, which can seep into seams and padding. If the fabric feels damp, air-dry it fully before the next step.
Spot-clean the straps: Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water. Dip a cloth or soft brush, scrub the straps gently, and wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove soap. Do not machine-wash or submerge straps. Common mistake: scrubbing too hard and fraying the webbing. Inspect straps for fraying or stiffness after cleaning; replace if damaged.
Clean the folding frame and hinges: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clear crumbs from the folding mechanism and frame joints. Dry immediately with a towel. Common mistake: ignoring the hinges, which can gum up and make folding difficult. Test the fold once dry to confirm the mechanism moves freely.
Air-dry completely before folding: Leave the seat open in a well-ventilated area until all fabric, straps, and hinges are dry. Common mistake: folding a damp seat, which traps moisture and can cause odors or mildew. If you must pack it away soon, dry it with a towel and leave it open as long as possible.
Reassemble and store: Reattach the tray only when both tray and seat are dry. Store the booster seat open or loosely folded in a dry place. Common mistake: storing in a damp car trunk or basement, which encourages mildew. Keep a small cleaning kit—cloth, mild soap, and a soft brush—with the seat for travel messes.
