The woman has, according to her own testimony, not a penny to her name. It seems insane to me that using some bleach on the straps to kill the mold would be worse than possibly not being able to eat because they had to shell out for a new seat.

Woah. Bleach on the straps? You aren’t even supposed to submerge them in water!

I washed the seat cover and the straps many times (because: vomit) and they were not unsafe as a result.

Replacing the seat is stupid.

You should not be washing the straps. Read your manual. It weakens the threads.

Agreed that cleaning immediate vomit, spills, etc is different than getting mold out of seat that been stored for a few years.
