QUESTION:

How can I clean my Car Seat cover?

ANSWER:

Each car seat has a cover that can be removed for cleaning. Cleaning instructions are either on the care label attached to the cover or in your user instruction manual. 

All Britax Australian standard car seats have covers that are machine washable (gentle cycle), cold water only, rinse well, dry on flat surface, do not tumble dry, bleach or dry-clean. Most Britax USA standard car seats have covers that are hand wash only.


QUESTION:

How can I clean my Harness Buckle?

ANSWER:

If sticky liquids such as baby formula, fruit juice, etc. get inside your Harness Buckle, it may become sluggish. An indication of a sluggish Harness Buckle is that you cannot hear a click when engaging the Harness Tongues. To restore the Harness Buckle to good working order follow the details in your instruction manual.

Cleaning Suggestion: - A. From the underside of the restraint pull each crotch 3-bar slide then turn 3-bar slide and push through each slot to remove the 
                                         Harness Buckle from the restraint. 
                                     B. Place the Harness Buckle under warm (max. 40 degrees Celsius) running water. Let the water run through the mouth of the buckle
                                         for five minutes.
                                     C. Engage and disengage the Harness Tongues and Buckles several times until a strong audible click is heard when inserting the last
                                         tongue.
                                     D. If you still cannot hear a strong audible click after engaging the Harness Tongues and Buckle, then repeat cleaning several times. 
                                          If the Harness Buckle cannot be returned to its original working condition then contact Britax Childcare Customer Service.
                                     E. Refit the harness buckle to the restraint with the red button facing out and feeding each 3-bar slide through appropriate slot.
