Attaching and Operating the Tray

WARNING: The tray is not designed to hold the child in the chair. The child must be secured in the high chair at all times by the 5-point restraining system. Do not force the tray against the child.

1. To attach the Tray: Line up the posts on the rear of the tray with the armrests of the high chair. Squeeze the front release handle and slide the tray onto the armrests. The tray has a 3-position adjustment. To adjust the position, squeeze the front release handle located underneath the tray and reposition the tray to the desired position. Release the tray's handle.

Attaching the Tray Insert

The dishwasher-safe tray insert snaps onto the high chair tray and is held in place by tabs on the sides of the tray. When installing the tray insert, make sure it snaps into place to prevent the child from removing it. To remove the insert, unsnap the tabs from the tray. An illustration shows the tray insert attachment. The tray can be stored on the back legs of the high chair by aligning the holes in the rear of the tray with the small pegs on the back legs. An illustration shows tray storage.

Using the Safety Harness

WARNING: Always use the restraint system. The child should be secured in the high chair at all times by the 5-point restraining system.

1. The shoulder straps of the 5-point harness have 2 attachment positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the top of the child's shoulder. An illustration shows harness strap positions.
2. Carefully place the child in the seat and position the safety harness around the child's waist and over the shoulders. Place the crotch strap between the child's legs. Insert the male end of each shoulder/waist belt into the buckle on the crotch strap. Tighten the harness to be snug around the child's waist and over the child's shoulders.
