4. Assembly and Installation

The Chicco Caddy Hook-On Chair is designed for quick and secure attachment to most dining tables. It fits tables between 0.75 to 1.5 inches thick and with a skirt up to 5.5 inches.

1. Unfold the Chair: Unfold the chair frame until it locks into its open position. Ensure all hinges are fully extended and locked.
2. Position on Table: Place the chair onto the table edge, ensuring the soft-grip arms are positioned on the tabletop. The chair should hang freely from the table.
3. Secure Attachment: Locate the twist-to-tighten knobs underneath the table. Rotate these knobs clockwise to extend the support arms upwards until they firmly clamp against the underside of the table. Continue tightening until the chair is stable and cannot be moved.

Verification: After tightening, attempt to lift and move the chair. It should be firmly attached to the table without any wobbling or movement. The soft-grip arms are designed to prevent scratching the tabletop.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the chair is securely installed on the table:

1. Placing the Child: Gently place your child into the seat.
2. Secure the Harness: Fasten the three-point harness around your child. Adjust the straps to ensure a snug and secure fit. The harness should be tight enough so that the child cannot slip out, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.

1. Remove from Table: Loosen the twist-to-tighten knobs by rotating them counter-clockwise until the support arms are fully retracted. Carefully lift the chair off the table.

  • Verify that the table has a flat, stable edge and no rounded or beveled edges.
  • Tighten the twist knobs firmly until there is no movement.
• Child is uncomfortable or harness is too tight/loose:
  • Adjust the harness straps to fit snugly but comfortably around the child.
  • Ensure the child is positioned correctly in the seat.
• Difficulty folding the chair:
  • Ensure all locking mechanisms are disengaged before attempting to fold.
