In this tutorial, we will show you how to remove a Graco car seat from a truck. This is a common task for parents of young children, as many Graco car seats are not designed to be taken on the road. This tutorial is easy to follow and will help you get your car seat out in a snap. Be sure to read through all the steps before beginning so that you don’t encounter any problems along the way.
What You’ll Need
To remove a Graco car seat from a truck, you will need to remove the baseplate and the connectors. The baseplate can be easily removed by unscrewing the four screws that hold it in place. Once the baseplate is loose, use a flathead screwdriver to lift it off of the truck. The connectors can be removed by grasping one end with your fingers and pulling it straight out of the baseplate.
Instructions
If you’re thinking of using your car to transport your infant child in a Graco Car Seat, be aware that the seat may not fit properly in the car. In fact, it may not fit at all! The instructions below will show you how to remove a Graco Car Seat from a truck.
1) Locate the tether strap on the back of the car seat. This strap should be attached to one of the slots on either side of the car seat. If it is not, loosen the strap and reattach it to one of the slots.
2) With both hands, grasp both sides of the car seat and lift it up from the base. Be careful not to pull too hard on the straps; you may damage them.
3) Remove any plastic pieces (e.g., sun visors) that are covering the straps. If there are any large pieces of fabric covering the straps, cut them off with scissors before removing them. You may also need to use a Phillips head screwdriver to open and adjust some if their locking tabs (this is especially true if there are multiple seats in your vehicle).
4) When everything is removed, place each strap on one side of your vehicle and cross it over so that it hangs down toward floor level. Make sure that each end is tucked under one corner of your vehicle’s lip or edge so that it doesn’t catch on anything as you drive away.
