My husband and I unpacked the car seat in the garage. Started to take the cover off the foam car seat and noticed black specs on the foam. I grabbed a magnifying glass and looked at the black specs. Most didn't move but some did and as we picked up the cover more a bug started jumping out. We grabbed the insect spray and sprayed the hell out of it. I threw the cover in the washing machine and left the bed out in the garage. My husband and I stripped out of our clothes and left them in the garage and took a long shower. I couldn't believe that this car seat was sent to us in this condition. My husband and I decided we couldn't keep it let alone put it in our car. We sent it back. I'm going to make a car seat with a plastic laundry basket and put pillows in it for height. The seat belt can go thru the basket holes and I can buy a harness with a seat belt tie on the dog. I am never going to buy another car seat from Snoozer again.
