Metal and Plastic Parts
Metal and plastic parts on the Toddler Car Seat and Base may be wiped
clean with a mild soap and water solution. Towel dry. Do not use household
detergents, such as bleach or abrasive agents. These detergents can weaken
plastic parts.
Restraint Harness and Belts
The Restraint Harness and other straps and belts may be spot cleaned with a
mild soap and water solution and towel dried. DO NOT immerse the Restraint
Harness, or other straps and belts, in water - doing so may weaken them. If the
Harness is still heavily soiled after spot cleaning, contact Orbit Baby for further
instructions.
Harness Adjuster Strap
Periodically check the adjuster area to be sure it is clean and free of food, coins,
dirt, and other objects. If debris is present, it must be removed to prevent
interference with the adjuster mechanism. Brush away loose debris and sponge
clean using warm water and mild soap. Towel dry. Do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaners. Do not disassemble the Restraint Harness.
Cleaning cont’d
Crotch Buckle and Buckle Tongues
If a child eats and drinks in the Toddler Car Seat, the Crotch Buckle and Buckle
Tongues should be periodically checked and cleaned of any accumulated
debris or liquids. The Crotch Buckle may be cleaned with a damp cloth or
removed (see page 84) and thoroughly rinsed with warm water. Towel dry. Test
the Crotch Buckle by fastening and unfastening until a positive click is heard
when inserting the Buckle Tongues. If a click is not heard, repeat the cleaning
procedure. Do not use lubricants, solvents, abrasive cleaners, soap or other
household detergents on the Crotch Buckle or Buckle Tongues.
Sunshade
The Sunshade is removable and may be spot cleaned with a damp sponge and
mild soap. Do not machine wash or dry the Sunshade.
SmartHub, Rotational Check Mechanism, & Hub Locks
Keep the entire bottom Hub area, and the Hub Locks specifi cally, on the Toddler
Car Seat clean and free of foreign material in order for the Toddler Car Seat to
function properly. As well, keep the Base’s SmartHub and Rotational Check
Mechanisms clean and free of foreign material. Do not allow any liquids or
particulate matter (such as sand or soil) to enter any of these areas.
