OP here. The new seat is identical in every possible way. Same brand, same model, same color, same size, same features. The one and ONLY difference between the 2 seats is that the old seat smelled like vomit. So why would the parents want to replace their seat with a new, yet identical seat? Because they didn't want a smelly seat in their Mercedes.
Dick move.

This. I'm betting OP doesnt like her bosses anyways. But honestly, it must not have smelled that bad if they drove around in it. And I don't see why it is so weird for the parents to put the new car seat that they bought in their car for their children. I used to be a nanny and had no problem using the old stroller even though there were some stains.

The parents park in covered A/C controlled parking most of the time. The smell is much worse after the seat has baked in the sun.

People have A/C controlled garages?

Do not wash or submerge the straps in water. If you cannot get the straps clean, ask them to get new ones. Wipe down the seat with clorex wipes or windex. Problem solved.

If the child vomited in the seat AFTER the employers had acquired the new seat and they chose to give the nasty seat to the nanny so they could have the clean new seat, then OP has every right to complain.

Agree that if they did not clean the vomit off the seat, OP has a right to complain. But then is she saying they expect their child to drive around in a seat covered in his or her own vomit? And if they cleaned it and drove around with it and didn't notice the smell, then the smell can't be THAT bad. So sure, OP can mention it politely (which it sounds like she did, and they expressed surprise) or she can just clean the seat. But in neither case is this an egregious offense on the parents part. The issue is OP's outrage doesn't match her story ...

How about I vomit on a carseat, dont clean it properly and then put it in your car? Wouldn't be much fun for you, I'm sure.

Why are you here, then, if you're not a nanny or a nanny employer? Not that you can't be, just wondering what your motivation is...
