  • Today's video is a little different. I am disassembling, cleaning and reassembling my Graco Slim Fit 3in1 Car Seat. I vacuum out the crumbs, wipe down the seat and wash the fabric. Stick around if you want to see how I do that!

    Also you're so brave for putting your hand under that seat. I was gagging the whole time and seeing the little compartment was sickening.

    This was a super helpful video HOWEVER I just wanted you to be aware you cannot use just any soap and you can’t use fabric softener at all. Mild soap is all Graco (and most other companies allow). Super scented soaps and fabric softeners break down the material and can compromise the integrity of the seat. Graco will tell you to most likely tell you to discontinue use of the seat if you have used cleaning solutions or anything other than mild soap and water to clean your seat.

      @lifeastracimarie4352  2 роки тому +2

      @@daintytoober I tried removing the back panel and instead of having a metal "splitter" (like other gracos I've seen videos on) the two straps are just attached to a single loop with no way to remove them. It appears they can be removed from the bottom of the seat but you can't reach your hand in there. I think the only way may be unscrewing and disassembling the entire bottom part of the seat.

It doesn't say anything about fabric softener or only using a mild detergent. Could you have a different seat maybe?
