Kids and flame retardants, how to protect/remove

[Guest guest]

Friends,

Is there anyway to remove those toxic flame retardants from kids car

chairs/seats, etc...? Any suggestions on how to

protect/remove/minimize exposure? Our beds are both used and older, so

hopefully that helps, as are all our pillows, etc...

We hope to make our own new pillows soon (local wool and buckwheat?).

Any input, suggestions, etc... are appreciated!

The stats I've read say to wash synthetic sleepers at least 11 times to

get off the antimony flame-retardant crud. I would suppose the same for

car seats. There is a site out there that rates car seats for toxicity-

but I didn't save the link. I can find it for you if you don't have luck

googling. Unfortunately some seats that are rated safer in a crash and

more economical (Britax Marathon) are some of the most toxic. I buy

gently used car seats, too- and then have a car seat tech check them out.
