23.0Care and Maintenance

Continuous use of child restraint may cause damage to vehicle seat. Use a child restraint 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.

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 child restraint. Call Graco at 1-800-345-4109 to purchase a replacement harness or buckle.
