One of the most common repairs people make on their vehicles is replacing the cover on their car seat. Over time, the fabric covering on car seats can become worn and torn, often necessitating a replacement. Here are a few tips to help you replace the cover on your Graco car seat without any trouble. First, be sure to remove your current cover before starting. This will make it easier to access the screws that hold the cover in place. Second, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the four screws that hold the cover in place. Be careful not to overtighten these screws—you may damage them and wind up needing to replace the cover anyway! Third, carefully remove the old cover and replace it with the new one. Make sure to reattach the screws in a similar manner as before and voila: your car seat is now properly covered!

Tips for Keeping Your Car Seat Clean
If you have a Graco car seat, it’s important to keep it clean and free of germs. Here are a few tips to help you do just that:
1. Get a soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe down the fabric surface of the car seat.
2. If your car seat has an insert, be sure to remove and clean it every few months. Dust and dirt can build up on the fabric over time and can cause discomfort for your child.
3. If you spot any spots or stains on the fabric or insert, use a mild soap and water mixture to clean them off. Be sure to rinse off all the soap before putting the car seat back in place.
4. If your child is prone to spills or accidents, be sure to keep their car seat in a spot where spills won’t go unnoticed. A dirty car seat will only make things worse!
