Safety Information

Always prioritize your child's safety. Follow these guidelines:

• Never leave your child unattended in the high chair.
• Always use the 5-point safety harness and passive restraint bar.
• Ensure the high chair is fully assembled and all locking mechanisms are engaged before placing a child in it.
• Do not use the high chair if any parts are broken, torn, or missing.
• Keep children away from moving parts during adjustment.
• Maximum weight recommendation: 45 pounds.

Setup and Assembly

The Peg Perego Siesta High Chair comes largely pre-assembled. Initial setup primarily involves unfolding the unit and attaching the tray.

1. Unfolding the High Chair:

   Carefully unfold the high chair frame until it locks into its open position. Ensure all structural components are securely extended.

2. Attaching the Tray:

   Align the tray with the armrests and push it firmly into place until it clicks. The tray is designed to be secure. If the armrests appear slightly warped, as can occur during shipping, store the tray in place for one to two weeks to allow the arms to correct their alignment. This will facilitate easier tray attachment and removal.

3. Caster Wheel Installation (if not pre-installed):

   Ensure the mar-resistant caster wheels are securely attached to the base of the high chair. These wheels feature a "Stop and Go" lock system for safety. Engage the "Stop" position when the high chair is stationary.

Operating Instructions

The Peg Perego Siesta offers multiple adjustments to adapt to your child's needs.

Recline Positions

The seat offers 5 recline positions, allowing use as a comfortable recliner for newborns and infants, or an upright high chair for older babies and toddlers.

• To adjust the recline, locate the recline lever, typically on the back of the seat.
• Press the lever and adjust the seat to the desired position. Ensure it locks securely.
• The lay-flat position is suitable for newborns.

Height Adjustment

The high chair features 9 height positions, enabling it to fit various table heights or to be used as a floor-level toddler seat.

• Locate the height adjustment levers, usually on the sides of the frame.
• Press the levers and raise or lower the seat to the desired height. Release the levers to lock the position.
• Lowering the seat to its lowest position converts it into a toddler seat.

Tray Usage

The Siesta includes a double tray system for convenience.

• To attach the tray, align it with the armrests and push until it clicks into place.
• To remove the tray, locate the release mechanism (often a lever or buttons on the underside or sides of the tray) and pull the tray away.
• The top tray is removable for easy cleaning and is dishwasher safe.

Safety Harness

Always secure your child with the 5-point safety harness and the passive restraint bar.

• Place your child in the seat.
• Fasten the shoulder straps, waist straps, and crotch strap. Adjust the straps for a snug, secure fit without being too tight.
• The T-bar (passive restraint bar) is attached to the seat and provides additional security, even when the tray is removed.

Caster Wheels

The mar-resistant caster wheels allow for easy movement of the high chair. They are equipped with a "Stop and Go" locking system.

• To move the high chair, ensure the wheels are in the "Go" position.
• To keep the high chair stationary, engage the "Stop" position on the wheels. Always lock the wheels when the child is in the high chair.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and extends the life of your high chair.

• Seat Fabric: The Prima Classe fabric is stain-resistant and durable. It can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and wipe thoroughly.
• Tray: The top tray is removable and dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning after messy mealtimes. The lower tray and other plastic parts can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
• Frame: Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed.
• Harness: The safety harness straps can be removed for cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reattaching.
• Storage: When not in use, the high chair folds compactly for storage. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Peg Perego Siesta High Chair.

Tray Difficult to Attach or Remove

Issue: The tray does not slide easily into place or is hard to remove, or the armrests appear warped.

Solution: This can sometimes occur due to how the frame is shipped or stored. To resolve this, attach the tray and leave it in place for one to two weeks. The pressure from the tray will help the armrests gradually correct their alignment, making future attachment and removal smoother.

High Chair Does Not Fold or Unfold Smoothly

Issue: The folding or unfolding mechanism feels stiff or gets stuck.

Solution: Ensure all locking mechanisms (e.g., recline, height adjustment) are disengaged before attempting to fold or unfold. Check for any obstructions in the folding joints. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if necessary, avoiding contact with fabric or child-accessible areas.

Wheels Not Rolling or Locking Properly

Issue: Caster wheels are difficult to roll or the "Stop and Go" lock is not engaging.

Solution: Check for debris (food, hair, lint) caught in the wheel mechanisms. Clean the wheels thoroughly. Ensure the lock lever is fully engaged or disengaged. If a wheel is damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts.
