The first thing you will want to do is remove the buckles and straps that secure the car seat into place. Next, fold the fabric up along the center line so that it forms two triangular pieces. Finally, use a pair of pliers to squeeze these pieces together until they form a loop. Push this loop through one of the buckle holes on the back of the car seat and pull tight to remove it.

3. Pry away at the fabric around the connector until it comes loose from the seat frame.
