Removing maxi cosi cabriofix cover for washing

[jenrendo]

Please please please could a bright spark out there tell me how to remove this cover for washing before I throw the entire car seat across the room?!! I have spent the last hour on the internet and cannot find out how to do this anywhere. The instructions on the website are dreadful. I have managed to get it almost all off but the adjuster strap at the foot end prevents me from removing it completely. I cannot for the life of me figure it out and I thought I was a normal intelligent person! Any tips? Please save me from myself......

I'll be back! I don't know a Bill...

Ok I give in. It's mostly all on but on the cover, just above the buttons that you press to move the handle, there is a little elastic loop but I cannot see where it hooks on to?

Why aren't the bastard things easier to remove/refit? Everyone knows babies poo, wee and spew all the time.

I too have just joined MumsNet to THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO much for helping me get the frigging cover off the car seat! I have spent so long trying to get the damn thing off I'm now not sure I have time to wash and dry it before bub needs collecting - aaaahhhh! SO frustrating! Thanks again, from a very relieved first time poster xx

Wow. I spent hours today trying to get the sodding cover off. Now it's off. Thank you!!!!!

Happiness is... googling your question and find that the answer exists on mumsnet :-)

Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU!!!

Seems like this is the thread that keeps on giving

Thank goodness! I have just joined Mumsnet after finding this extremely useful post! I was also about to launch the car seat across the room because I could not find out how to remove the cover. So THANK YOU!!! However, getting it back on might be another challenge!!!

Omg just found this thread driving had been driving me so mad and its so easy!! Can't believe this is not on the instructions. Thanks so much! :)

I still don't get it

I haven't been struggling with this since last post, oh no

Can someone explain to me very slowly in words of no more than two syllables where I undo the adjustment strap to release the sodding cover?

I can't find any secret gaps or hidden slots

Done it! Rage over!

Thank god for this thread, I was going insane trying to get the cover off! The instructions say sponge clean only on mine, but do they survive the washing machine?

I washed mine on a 30 degree synthetics cycle and was fine.

Thanks, I'll try that as its so dirty I don't think sponging will be enough x

this was soooooooooooooo helpful! I was totally confused and had almost taken the whole thing apart. Thanks so much! x

I can't get the sodding cover back on... Looks like I'm buying a new one :(

Sooo useful! Thanks!

Now can someone please tell me how I get the bloody sun cover to go back on. Can see where it's supposed to go but it's incredibly fiddly to reattach.

HI, i have managed to remove and replace the cover on the maxi cosi carbiofix but i cannot the the harness back on, its the bit a the bottom i have it put through the clip by force and now the button at the bottom wont work( silver round circle button )im sure i didnt take it off right . Has any one any suggestions.

Managed to get cover off and wash it and get it back on but how the hell do you put the adjustment strap back through??

At the moment I can adjust straps put the long silver cord thing is hanging loose and the foot end of the seat. Any ideas how I fix it before I drive 30 mins to the local baby shop to sort it out?

BUMP!!

I ended up taking mine back to the pram centre. The ladies there spent a long time putting it back together for, whilst looking at one they had in stock for guidance. I would say it is worth the car journey.

For what it's worth, the seat comes off without unthreading all the straps. I found this out when googling how to put it back together :(

Appreciate this is a couple of months old but I had this problem and I snapped the polystyrene insert the first time. I have now learned how to do it and it bugged me so much I put a photo guide together on my website. I hope this helps out others:

Thank you so much for asking and answering this question. Mine was driving me crazy until I read the instructions here and voila! Will be revisiting when I put it back on :p Thank you all
