Pro tip for getting the elastic bands back on during installation - put paper clips on the bands, slip the paper clips through the slits and use them to pull the bands down :)
Or use tweezers. Thanks for the video! Been trying to remember how those back elastic/metal clips go back in. A big fail on Graco for not mentioning all this, of course we’d like to clean the chair!
I hope you know this is still helping people two years after posting! I almost threw this chair out the window I was getting so frustrated, so thank you for saving me time and money! 😀
Thank you! I was hung up on the folding strap this time. The last time I got stuck on the side elastic, I didn’t see the hook apparently. For those saying you can just wipe it, yes, you can but only for small messes and not for extended periods of time. My daughter has been using hers for 1.5years. That’s a long time. The seat is water resistant not water proof and after a while the plastic overlay starts to wear. My kid spilled milk so much so, that it soaked her pants and was pooling in the cloth at the bottom of the chair. Food also gets in the fold where the folding strap is and it’s gross, at some point it needs to be soaked in water. Mine is in the machine now and I’m so thankful for this video
Ditto. I figured out everything, until the folding strap. It made no sense that everything else is detachable, but the folding strap has no apparent way to remove/unfasten. It never occurred to me to check under the strap to find out that the buckle has a gap. Because there is no indication that there is one. Every other point that fastens the cover to the chair is visible.
This demonstration video was so needed and very very helpful!!! After spending considerable time I did figure out most of the installation on my own but there were at least 3 additional parts I needed to verify with what you demonstrated. This was just an excellent demonstration !👏🏻 My daughter in-law took the seat cover off so I had nothing to go by to install the cover correctly. I couldn’t believe that installing the seat cover could be so complicated and I thought that I had lost the instructions because I couldn’t imagine that Graco would not include instructions. Shame, shame on Graco for not including instructions. The company should pay you for doing their job for them! Seriously!
BLESS YOU. Figuring out how to remove the chair folding strap from the cover was driving me mad. I could not figure out why Graco would have so many tabs and hooks if they didn’t mean for the cover to come off. LOL. Happily washing the cover now.
You just saved me so much stress. Had no idea there was a slit in the plastic piece for that pull to fold thing. And the paper clip trick. Seriously. Thank you.
So helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing this- I was actually trying to take it off to give it a wash, and it was your first step (the folding strap cross the middle part) that got me wondering for 10 mins… I was battling between figuring it out and putting the rest back and I found your video!! And I love it that your demonstration started with the last step on my end lol. (I did watch the whole thing - when I put it back on! Haha)
You are AWESOME!!! We are brand new grandparents & bought this high chair used. We thought finding the "Owners Manual" online would be sufficient to figure out the ins & outs of this high chair. Not. So I was super excited to view your video. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
Thank you SO much for this.❤ I gave up and bought my nephew a new seat because we could not get this cover off for proper cleaning. Now he finally can finally use this seat again.
Thank you so much! I didn’t take any notes when I was taking it apart and would never have been able to get it back together correctly without your video.
I’m so thankful to see your video, I had removed the straps and the cover of my baby’s graco high chair for laundry and forgot how to put it back together. Thankyou
Thank you so much! We have this chair for our granddaughter and I just washed the cover only with your help getting it off! And putting it back on too!
I truly hope you grasp how many people you helped we've had this highchair for a year (have only used it for about 4mo tho) and I've been getting so annoyed with the bs of "just wipe clean" because it doesn't fully clean it
I NEVER comment on UA-cam videos but this deserves a THANK YOU! We got this highchair as a hand me down and it was filthy so I wasn't going to use it if I couldn't wash the seat cover. We got the cover off (should have watched your video for that too - would have saved so much time) but putting it back on...no way that would have ever happened without your instructions. Now we're ready to get it messy again immediately as we're starting solids 😄
This was sooo helpful! I am so over cleaning this cover af5ter every meal it's daunting. Love the high chair, so going to use it without the cover for awhile. Baby led weaning is so messy !
Omg I came here for this comment !! Started blw last week and I think I got a herniated disc just cleaning this friggin high chair. I’m gonna do without the cushion for now lol
Thank you! I could figure out everything but the hidden folding strap. I was trying to get the white strings out at the bottom of it with no success. This was much easier!
You are a life saver!!!!!! I have twins and two of these chairs and omg I have been trying to figure out how to get the seat and buckles off forever! Thank you for this lol‼️‼️‼️😩
Thank you so so so much for your help this video helped me alot I had such a hard time figuring out how to get my babies seat cover off this explains alot and very clear thank you such a relief 😊 God bless you 🙏🤗!
I appreciate this video so much. I have been fighting with the highchair for two years my two kids and im about to have a third and was ready to get a new one because i could never get it clean enough and it was starting to smell no matter how well i cleaned it. The collapsing handle kept me back this whole time i would get everything else off but not the handle and couldnt figure it out 🤦♀️
Cannot thank you enough for this video ! Got everything apart except for your first step , which was invaluable. Will attempt reinstalling after washing everything. Thanks again & I’m now a subscriber !
Bro! Thank you so much for this! 🎉 I bought two of these used. One couple cut the seat cover because they couldn’t get the folding handle apart. 😂 I knew there had to be a better option! You rock!!
Thanks! I had to figure this all out while it was covered with a large amount of yogurt fountain baby puke. I figured it all out except for the folding handle. I resorted to a garden hose to clean it up but still want to sanitize it and dry it really well. Thanks again, now I can finish the job. P.S. My grandson is fine.
Thank you! We have the same chair for our daughter and she just threw up in it. I was stuck on getting that strap that unlocks it to fold up. Now i can throw the pad in the wash machine.
Thank you so much! I had no idea about how to remove the pulling handle part and washing this in the shower, so hard. Now I just threw it to the washer
Thanks man I was about to cut the ends of the folding handle off and just tie it back on after 🤣 glad to have this reference when I put it back together too!

I used a dessert fork and it worked flawlessly
Totally used a butter knife 😅
Not to be dramatic but I hope you have the best day of your life today… you just saved me so much stress 🤣 3 years later
No but same
I hope you know this is still helping people two years after posting! I almost threw this chair out the window I was getting so frustrated, so thank you for saving me time and money! 😀
I can relate with that. I almost gave it away.
Same.
Great video! This chair is more complicated than the space shuttle.
Haha yeah it’s not as simple as you’d think. Glad it was helpful!
Not all heroes wear capes… thank you sir!
You are a life savor. I could not figure out the folding chair part. You are a GOAT for this

Wait how did you get the folding strap off?
Hey! Thank you so much for this video. Graco should pay you and post this video on their site in the support section. Very well done.
Hahaha my favorite comment ever!

You’re a life saver! Probably saving marriages here with all these perfectly clear instructions! Bravo 🎉 thank you so much you’re an angel

Thank you so much for this video. I was so frustrated with this seat cover being dirty. I’m amazed that so many people had the same issue.

Great! Thanks for watching! Check out some of the other videos for useful stuff :)
Commenting to add to the algorithm, lifesaver! I can't believe it was as simple as the tab to open the folding handle that I couldn't figure out
Thank you!
Yes! I couldn't figure the folding handle out either, super easy now
Thank you we spent days trying to figure this out. Could not have done it without your video!
Thank you so much for this video. I was very confused and frustrated with this high chair. Now I’m happy again!

Thank you so much for this vid! We just purchased this chair (second-hand) and needed help to figure things out.
Glad it helped!
Thank you. I’ve had this chair awhile and could not figure out how to take the cover off around the folding handle. Wish I had looked this up sooner!
Thank you so much! Needed to know how to unlatch the folding strap so I could pull off the cushion. Thanks for mentioning that at the outset!👍
My pleasure! Glad it helped!

Thank you for saving my life! I have a problem to take the strip on the seat (the folding handle one)! Problem solved!
How do you take oFf the bottom storage mesh to clean?
Any recommendations for cleaning the part that is with the steel buckle. Mine's looks dingy and got chocolate on it
Are you referring to the buckle that holds the folding handle?
@@lifeofdadYTThe little ropes that hold the folding handle. Those get dirty too. I can’t see any way those are ever coming off for a good washing! 😢
So so so helpful. Thank you!!
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching!

Yay!
Thank you! We have the same chair for our daughter and she just threw up in it. I was stuck on getting that strap that unlocks it to fold up. Now i can throw the pad in the wash machine.
That strap is the main sticking point. Glad I could help!
