Hi laddies
I need some help. I cant find my instruction book  i have always kept it in the storage box in the car ( guessing mr 6 has been pokeing his nose into things). Quinn threw up all through his seat this morrning and i need it washed and dried before the school run tomorrow morrning. I have been able to undo everything apart from the 2 black things on the base of the seat. If you no how to undo them please let me no. ------------- DD 12 DS 9.5 DD 6 DS 4 DD 23 months and here comes number 6 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  |

I tried what it said on that site. I even used a knife under it like it said and i can not get it off. Thank god i have 2 radians. I will have to put DD 2.5 in the maxi cosi tobi until i can get someone to get it off for me. The fabric even sounded like it was ripping. No idea why they had to make that one peice so hard to get off 
Thank you for your help anyway  ------------- DD 12 DS 9.5 DD 6 DS 4 DD 23 months and here comes number 6 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> |

On mine they just stay there and the fabric came off around them, On one side it just slipped off and the other I had to make a small cut to get it over it. I think that makes sense?

On my radian there are two little black things (a bit like drawing pins). If you pull on the fabric they just slide out. Sounds like yours a bit stuck for some reason
I don't think you should need to cut anything to remove the cover, although the seat belt clip at the base is a bit of a mission to get through the fabric. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

0(_mrs- You just remove the actual clip first by reaching through the RF belt hole and pushing the clip through, otherwise you stretch the fabric. -------------

If you ever need the Radian manual again for whatever reason, it is available online http://www.skjp.com/simg/19544803" border="0 - here .
I transferred a cover from one Radian to another and didn't know how to get the covers off at those pegs either. On the first seat, I popped the pegs out with a knife, and on the second seat, I just pulled the fabric off around the pegs (I didn't need to cut anything, it just slipped off). |

I think I had to pull the fabric off around those pegs... I can't quite remember, except they were a complete PITA ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Just bumping this post for anyone else who might be having trouble getting the cover off their seat-- That link is very useful, describing those little black bits like "pegs" is fantastic. If you just pull really hard on them (someone on the link suggested using a kitchen knife as leverage) they will just pop out. They are only about 2cm long and are just straight and easy to pull out.
I also had trouble getting my cover off-thankful for a search function haha! But once I realised this it was easy to get off 
Now, to go clean the thing!!!
