How to Remove the Graco Car Seat Base
If you’re looking to remove your Graco car seat base, there are a few simple steps you can follow.
1. Locate the latch system on the back of the car seat. There are usually two latches – one on either side of the car seat.
2. Push down on both latches simultaneously to release the base from the car. Be sure to keep hold of the straps as you remove it!
3. Carefully pull the base out of the car and set it aside. If there is any debris or foam still attached, use a cloth or brush to dislodge it before setting the base aside.
Tools Required
If you’re like most parents, you’ve probably removed the Graco car seat base at some point in your child’s life. The base is easy to take off and can be reused or recycled. Here are the tools you’ll need:
-Tape measure
-Pry bar
-Screwdriver
-Jigsaw or saw
-Hammer
-Nail set (optional)
If your car has a hard plastic surface, you can use a screwdriver to pry off the screws that hold the base on. If your car has a fabric surface, you’ll need to use a Pry bar to remove the screws and then remove the base. Be careful not to damage the fabric surface. Next, use a hammer and nail set to break off the remaining plastic pieces that hold the base together. Be sure to wear gloves and eye protection while working with sharp objects. Finally, recycle or reuse the base!
