Metal and plastic parts
Metal and plastic parts on the car seat and car seat 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. Orbit Baby’s Cream Scrub is approved for use on all plastic and
metal parts except for the car seat buckle.
Restraint harness
• Shoulder straps: the shoulder straps may be spot cleaned with Orbit
Baby’s Spot Treatment or a mild soap and water solution and towel dried.
DO NOT immerse the shoulder harness in water. Doing so may weaken
them. If the harness is still heavily soiled after spot cleaning, contact Orbit
Baby for further instructions. Do not disassemble the restraint harness.
• Adjuster lock and strap: Periodically check the adjuster lock 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 separate the
adjuster strap from the adjuster lock.
• Crotch buckle and buckle tongues: If a child eats and drinks in the 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 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.
Car seat fabric covering and soft handles
The fabric covers on the outside of the car seat and the soft carrier handles
are not removable. These items can be spot cleaned with Orbit Baby’s Spot
Treatment or with a damp sponge and mild soap.
SmartHub, rotational check mechanism & hub locks
Keep the entire bottom hub area, and the hub locks specifically, clean and
free of foreign material in order for the car seat to function properly. Keep the
car seat base’s SmartHub and rotational indicators 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.
