4. PUTTING THE CHILD IN/TAKING 

THE CHILD OUT

Cleaning

Only use authentic BRITAX RÖMER seat covers. The seat cover is an integral part 

of the child safety seat and is key to ensuring the trouble-free functionality of the 

system. Replacement seat covers are available from your dealer.
•  The cover can be removed and washed with a mild detergent on a washing 

machine's delicates cycle (30 °C). Please observe the instructions on the wash-

ing label of the cover.

•  The baby insert can be washed in the same way as the cover. Remove all foam 

parts from the top and bottom sections before washing. These must not be 

washed.

•  The shoulder pads can be removed and washed in lukewarm soapy water.
•  The plastic parts and the harnesses can be cleaned with soapy water. Do not 

use any caustic cleaning agents (such as solvents).

Caring for the harness buckle 

To ensure the safety of your child, it is absolutely essential that the harness buckle 

04  continues to function correctly. Harness buckle  04  malfunctions are usually 

caused by a build-up of soiling or by external objects:

•  When you press the red release button, it takes a long time for the buckle 

tongues  29

 

to be ejected.
