Weird-smelling Britax seat...

DH bought a Roundabout to keep in his car. He has a MINI, so space is at a premium (Chat Icon ) and he takes it out of the car when he knows it will be a while before we put James in it again.

Right now, it's in our small guest room and I noticed that the room has a funky smell to it - like sulfur. I chalked it up to the heat/humidity.old house, but the smell is actually coming form the Britax. James has only been in the seat once and we didn't notice an odor when we first took it out of the box and put it in the car.

What do we do about this, if anything? I really don't want to use this seat with the way it smells right now.... Chat Icon

We got the Roundabout Memorial day weekend and threw out the box. I wonder if they'll do anything if I call Britax directly? Chat Icon I'm not looking for anything for free, just want to find out what's up with the smelly seat! Chat Icon
