Counting On fans are appalled by his car seat safety violation.

In his new YouTube video, Jed Duggar showed viewers that he was getting the infant car seat ready for his new baby since Truett is one year old now. Truett was moved to a different car seat so the baby girl can use his old one when she arrives.

In this clip, Jed explained that his brother, Josiah Duggar, told him he could just pressure wash the car seat to clean it up. Katey added that the car seat/stroller combo had been everywhere with them, from Italy to Israel. So, it definitely needed a good cleaning before the baby girl could use it.

Reddit users shared a screenshot from this video and drew attention to a mistake Katey and Jed Duggar made. The original poster said, “I cannot believe he pressure washed the car seat. Car seat 101 this is a huge no no!” 

According to Parents.com, car seats should not be totally soaked. The source says, “Drenching a car seat with water can cause rust in the parts along the underside of the seat, reducing the seat’s effectiveness in a crash.”

By pressure-washing the car seat, Jed likely got the straps wet too. Parents.com notes, “These are made of woven threads that use tensile strength to provide just the right amount of ‘give’ in a car accident if used properly.”

Hopefully, Jed and Katey will see these comments and remedy the potential safety issue.

So, what do you think of Katey and Jed Duggar’s decision regarding their kids’ car seats? Do you think he will replace the car seat after fans pointed this out? Sound off in the comments section below, and come back to TV Shows Ace for more news about the Duggar family.
