Operation
Using the Safety Belt
It is recommended that only children capable of sitting upright unassisted use the high chair in the upright position.
Prevent serious injury or death from falls or sliding out. Always use the restraint system. The child should be secured at all times by the 5-point restraining system.
Adjusting Harness: The shoulder straps have 2 attachment positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the top of the child's shoulder. 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.
To Release Belt: Push the button on the center clasp; the two harness buckles will pop free.
Reclining the Seat
Squeeze the recline lever on the back of the seat and adjust to the preferred recline or upright position. Use caution not to trap arms, hands, or fingers when adjusting recline positions.
Adjusting Seat Height
WARNING: Do not adjust seat height with child in seat. Adjust seat height before placing your child in the high chair.
WARNING: Verify that the height adjustment bracket is level and both left and right sides are locked before placing child in the high chair.
WARNING: Never rest the height adjustment bracket on the locking pins.
Squeeze the Release Handles on both sides simultaneously and adjust to the ideal position. DO NOT adjust with child in the seat.

The chair is now ready to put away. DO NOT allow your child to play around a folded high chair as it may fall.
