9.0 Care and Maintenance

• CONTINUOUS USE OF CAR SEAT MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO VEHICLE SEAT. Use a car seat mat,
towel or thin blanket to protect upholstery.
• METAL AND PLASTIC PARTS: clean with mild
soap and cool water. No bleach or detergents.
• HARNESS STRAPS AND UAS STRAPS: spot clean
or replace. Do not immerse the straps in water.
Doing so may weaken the straps.
• BUCKLE AND HARNESS ADJUSTER: clean with
a damp cloth.
• NEVER LUBRICATE THE BUCKLE. If buckle or
harness adjuster sticks or will not remain tight, check
for foreign objects such as food, dirt, etc. Remove
objects with tweezers and/or clean with a cotton
swab. If you cannot get the harness to remain tight
with the buckle securely locked, do not use this car
seat. Call Elfe at 1-800-667-8184 to purchase a
replacement harness or buckle.
• SEAT COVER: clean with a damp sponge using
mild soap and cool water. If necessary, cover may
be removed for cleaning (see next page).
