9.0 Care and Maintenance

• CONTINUOUS USE OF CAR SEAT MAY CAUSE

DAMAGE TO VEHICLE SEAT. Use a car seat mat,
towel or thin blanket to protect upholstery.

• METAL AND PLASTIC PARTS: clean with mild soap

and cool water. No bleach or detergents.

• HARNESS STRAPS AND LATCH STRAPS: spot

clean or replace. Do not immerse the straps in water.
Doing so may weaken the straps.

• BUCKLE AND HARNESS ADJUSTER: clean with

a damp cloth.

• NEVER LUBRICATE THE BUCKLE. If buckle or

harness adjuster sticks or will not remain tight, check
for foreign objects such as food, dirt, etc. Remove
objects with tweezers and/or clean with a cotton
swab. If you cannot get the harness to remain tight
with the buckle securely locked, do not use this car
seat. Call Graco at 1-888-224-6549 to purchase a
replacement harness or buckle.

• SEAT COVER: clean with a damp sponge using

mild soap and cool water. If necessary, cover may
be removed for cleaning (see next page).
