Cleaning the Harness and Child Seat Shell
DO NOT - Take apart or attempt to take apart any of the harness
when cleaning the harness and seat. It is unnecessary and dangerous
to do so.
DO NOT - Use solvents, detergents or cleaning fluids as these may
weaken the harness and seat.
DO - Only use mild soap and warm water.
Cleaning the Cover
The cover is not machine washable. Hand wash with cold water and
mild soap. Air dry to prevent the cover from shrinking.
DO NOT - machine wash or dry.
DO NOT - use chlorine bleach.
Cleaning the Buckle
Most problems relating to your child's seat buckle are caused by the
accumulation of dust and dirt. These are easily washed out.
These problems include:
•
The tongues fail to lock home with an audible click.
•
The tongues are slowly ejected after pressing the release button.
•
The tongues are difficult to insert (you feel resistance).
•
The tongues will no longer lock properly.
To clean the buckle, follow these steps:
1 Remove the crotch strap:
a Fully recline the seat.
b Pull the fabric cover off of the seat to expose the crotch strap. You
can now grasp the metal plate under the seat, by which the strap is
secured to the seat shell.
c Push the metal plate upwards, on its side,
through the slot in the shell. (See Page 25)
2 Clean the buckle unit.
a Soak the buckle in warm water (if necessary,
with mild soap) for about an hour.
b Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3 Reinstall the crotch strap.
a Hold the metal plate on the crotch and strap
sideways and push it with the narrow side facing upwards, through
the slot in the fabric cover and into the plastic shell. The metal plate
must be inserted through the slot in the plastic shell and not merely
through the fabric cover.
b Verify proper installation by pulling up on the crotch strap several
times. If the fabric cover lifts off the seat shell significantly, the metal
plate is not fitted correctly.
IMPORTANT:
•
Check your entire Expressway harness to remove a twist.
•
Make sure the straps are not twisted.
•
The buckle or other metal or plastic parts must be positioned
outside the side slots.
•
Make sure the straps are clear of food particles. Wipe the straps
clean of food particles with a damp cloth.
