As a parent, it’s safe to say that one of your top priorities is to make sure your toddler is safe and comfortable while travelling. But what about when you have to remove the car seat? Do you risk injuring your child in the process? Thankfully, there are several easy ways to remove a Graco 3-in-1 car seat without any pain or injury. In this blog post, we will share these methods with you so that you can safely remove your toddler’s car seat without any fuss.
Materials Needed
Materials needed:
–Graco car seat
-Hands
-Stripping tool (a knife, scissors, or clippers)
-Rags
-Litter box
-Water hose
1. Remove the Graco car seat from the vehicle. If your child is smaller than average and does not require a harness, you can remove the car seat without removing the base. If your child needs a harness, undo the buckles on each side of the car seat and lift off the top section of the car seat. Remove the fabric cover if present and set it aside.
2. Position yourself between your child and the moving parts of the car seat and grasp either side of the fabric cover with one hand. Peel slowly and steadily away from your child while keeping them squarely in front of you. If there’s any resistance, use a stripping tool to cut through the fabric covering at that spot before continuing to peel it away from your child.
3. Once all fabric covering is removed, position the litter box in front of your child inside of the now open frame of the Graco carseat and replace the fabric cover (if present). Push down on both sides of frame to secure cover in place. Make sure edges of cover are tucked inside frame so they don’t come into contact with moving parts later on! Fill litter box with enough litter to cover bottom portion of frame as well. Close Frame by pressing down on both sides
