Frequently Asked Questions - Contender GO GRACO
What is the weight limit for rear-facing use?
The Graco Contender GO can be used rear-facing for children weighing between 5 and 40 pounds (2.3 to 18.1 kg).
Can I use the Contender GO forward-facing?
Yes, once your child meets the minimum requirements (at least 22 lbs and able to sit upright unassisted), the seat can be converted to forward-facing mode up to 65 lbs.
How do I clean the car seat cover?
Remove the fabric cover and machine wash it in cold water with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach or iron.
What is the LATCH system and how do I use it?
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) allows installation without using the seat belt. Attach the lower anchors to your vehicle's lower anchor points and tighten. Always consult your vehicle manual.
How do I adjust the harness height?
The Contender GO features a no-rethread harness. Simply move the headrest up or down to adjust the harness height simultaneously. Ensure harness slots are at or below your child's shoulders for rear-facing, and at or above for forward-facing.
What is the expiration date of this car seat?
Graco car seats expire 7 years from the date of manufacture. Check the sticker on the seat for the exact expiration date.
Can I use this seat on an airplane?
Yes, the Contender GO is certified for aircraft use when installed with the vehicle seat belt. It is recommended to use a seat belt extender if needed. Check with your airline for their policies.
How do I know if the seat is installed correctly?
You can use the built-in bubble level indicator to ensure proper recline angle. For rear-facing, the bubble should be within the designated lines. Also, the seat should not move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the belt path when pulled.
What replacement parts are available?
Graco offers replacement covers, harness straps, buckles, and other parts. Contact Graco customer service or visit their website to order.
How do I recline the seat for rear-facing installation?
The Contender GO has a recline foot that can be adjusted to different positions. For rear-facing, use the designated recline position as indicated by the angle indicator. Refer to the manual for specific steps.
