How to Take Apart a Graco Car Seat Canopy
Graco Car Seat Canopy Tutorial
If you have a Graco car seat canopy, it is probably time to take it apart. Here’s how:
1. Unplug the canopy from the car seat base.
2. On one corner of the canopy, locate two screws that are hidden beneath the fabric. Remove these screws with a Phillips head screwdriver.
3. Gently pull the fabric along one edge of the canopy to reveal four more screws on opposing corners. Remove these screws with a Phillips head screwdriver as well.
4. Finally, lift up the entire canopy and set it aside on a flat surface. You will now be able to see and remove the straps that hold it in place on the car seat base. NOTE: Be very careful when removing these straps; they can be sharp!
Putting the car seat back together
To take apart a Graco car seat canopy, first remove the four screws that hold it in place. Then unfold it and detach the fabric panels. To reattach the fabric panels, fold them in half and sew them together. Finally, reattach the screws and you’re done!
If your Graco car seat doesn’t have a canopy, simply remove the four screws and the base will separate from the chair. The base can then be cleaned with a damp cloth and stored away when not in use.
Tips for Taking Care of Your Car Seat Canopy
If your Graco car seat canopy is getting a little weary, don’t worry! Here are some tips on how to take it apart and clean it:
1. Locate the canopy’s screws. Six of them should be visible once the canopy is unzipped.
2. Remove the screws and fold down the top of the canopy until it snaps into place in the base.
3. Grab a bottle of water and a soft brush, and start scrubbing down both sides of the fabric with moderate pressure. Be sure to get into all of the crevices!
4. Wipe off any excess water with a dry cloth, then store everything back together in the same order you took it apart.
