How to Clean a Graco Safe Seat

Babies are messy, and most of what they come in contact with needs to washed frequently. Car seats are no exception. If you have a Graco Safeseat, knowing how to correctly clean it will help keep it in like-new condition. Car seats have a lot of features and parts, so be sure to position and anchor the straps properly for your child's safety after the seat is clean.

Things You'll Need

  • Water
  • Mild soap
  • Cloth
  • Scrub brush

Instructions

    • 1

      Turn the Safeseat upside down so that you have access to the back of the seat.

    • 2

      Remove the harness straps from their metal junction plate on the back of the seat. To do this, find a small tab that holds the anchor clips in place, push it aside and pull the anchor clips out of their indentations. Pull the anchor clips off the harness straps.

    • 3

      Push the harness straps through the front of the car seat through the slots.

    • 4

      Pull the Safeseat cover off the plastic shell.

    • 5

      Machine wash the cover on a delicate cycle.

    • 6

      Wipe down the plastic shell and metal restraint parts with mild soap.

    • 7

      Clean the buckle with a damp cloth. If there is build-up or grime, use a scrub brush to carefully get into hard-to-reach places. Choose a scrub brush that will not damage the plastic. Do not scrub hard.

    • 8

      Spot-clean the harness straps with soap and water, but do not immerse them into water, as this could weaken them. Also, ironing the straps can damage them.

    • 9

      Place the car-seat cover back onto the plastic shell.

    • 10

      Pull the straps through the correct slot and place them in the metal junction plate. Place the anchor clips back into their indentations.

    • 11

      Pull the strap that goes between the baby̵7;s legs through the cover.

    • 12

      Tighten the cover as needed to fit the baby snugly.
