4. Operating Instructions
Once the newborn set is securely installed, you can place your baby in it.
- Gently place your newborn into the seat, ensuring their head is positioned comfortably against the head support. The ergonomic design supports a natural posture.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Bugaboo Giraffe Newborn Set, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Issue: Newborn set does not attach securely to the high chair/rocker.
Solution: Ensure the high chair or rocker frame is correctly assembled and stable. Verify that the attachment points on the newborn set are perfectly aligned with the slots on the frame. Apply firm, even pressure until you hear a click and the safety indicator turns green. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions in the attachment slots. - Issue: Safety harness feels too loose or too tight on the baby.
Solution: Adjust the harness straps using the buckles to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. The harness should be tight enough to prevent the baby from slipping out but not so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict breathing. Always ensure the shoulder straps are at the correct height for your baby. - Issue: Fabric appears stained or dirty after spot cleaning.
Solution: For stubborn stains, remove the fabric cover and machine wash it according to the instructions in Section 5. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before reattaching.
