Second Hand Mamaroo Seat Advice
I know this is kind of a dumb question but I just bought a second hand Mamaroo seat today and I don't know if I should use it or not.
It was only $60 which is a really good price for even a used Mamaroo. I was really excited to find it for that price because I really wanted one and we don't have a lot of money to spend. We had one for our first child, but we threw it out earlier this year when we had a mouse problem in our house, specifically where our Mamaroo was stored 😬
So anyway, I get this used seat and bring it home. I started taking it apart and wiping it down and I noticed it was really dusty and dirty and smelled kind of musty.
I messaged the seller and asked her where the seat had been stored and she told me it had been in their attached garage for about a year 🫣
IMO, that's not really a safe place for a baby item to be stored. My fear is that they could very well have had mice in their garage which is why we threw out the seat we had originally. There could also, honestly, be mold on the seat that would be hard to see because the fabric is black. And who knows what else.
Of course, I could wash the fabric and disinfect it the best I can, but should I? I hate to lose out on the money since we don't have a lot, but I'm also a "safety first" "better safe than sorry" kind of person.
What would you do? Clean the seat and use it or take the loss?
Honestly I would just clean it and use it. As long as u wash it and disinfect it u should be fine.
