22.0 Care 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.
• Buckle and harness adjuster lever: 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 child restraint. Call Graco at 1-800-345-4109 to purchase a replacement harness or buckle.
