10-B Cleaning Crotch Buckle

Recline the car seat and locate the metal 

retainer.  Rotate the metal retainer up through 

the shell and pad.  From the front, pull the 

crotch buckle out.
To clean buckle, place in a cup of warm 

water and gently agitate the buckle. Press 

the red button several times while in the 

water.  

DO NOT SUBMERGE THE BUCKLE 

STRAP.

 DO NOT USE SOAPS, HOUSEHOLD 

DETERGENTS or LUBRICANTS.
Shake out excess water and allow to air 

dry. Repeat steps as needed until it fastens 

with a click. Re-insert the buckle into the 

same slot it was removed.  Pull up on crotch 

buckle to make sure it is secured.

WARNING!

 Inspect and clean 

buckle from time to time to 

remove any objects or debris that 

could prevent latching.
