How do I clean and maintain my Graco car seat?

The removable seat pad can be machine washed on a delicate cycle and drip-dried—do not use bleach. The metal and plastic parts may be cleaned by wiping with a mild soap and water solution (do not use bleach, as it may weaken plastic parts). Harness straps may be spot cleaned or replaced, but do not immerse them in water as this may weaken them. The buckle can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and should not be lubricated. Always check that the harness system is not twisted and is securely reinstalled after cleaning.
