Assembly Instructions

IMPORTANT! Follow these instructions carefully for safe operation. Inspect product before assembly and each use for damaged hardware, loose joints, missing parts, or sharp edges. NEVER use if parts are missing or broken. Adult assembly is required. Always check that the high chair is locked in the open position before using.

To Assemble Frame:

1. Take one Upper Frame Assembly. Press and hold the button, extend the frame, then release the button. (See diagram on page 3).
2. Squeeze the Release Handles on both sides simultaneously and push the tube through the Height Adjusters until it locks in the highest position. (See diagram on page 3).
3. Connect the Front and Rear Legs to the Upper Frame Assemblies by inserting the tube ends into the extension tubes. Separate tubes A and B. For front legs, connect A tubes to the left leg and B tubes to the right leg. For rear legs, connect A tubes to the left leg and B tubes to the right leg. Legs are correctly connected when lock buttons align with holes on the Upper Frame Assemblies. Ensure lock buttons are engaged. (See diagrams on page 3).

To Assemble Booster Seat:

5. Thread the non-buckle end of Harness Straps (Harness Attachment Tabs) through the provided slots in the body insert, seat fabric, seat back, and seat base. Rotate the Harness Attachment Tabs 90 degrees to ensure straps are firmly in place. (See diagrams on page 4).
6. Loop the flap on the back of the pad over the top of the Seat Back. Connect the Seat Pad to the Seat Back using the two Elastic Loops that fit over the Attachment Tabs near the top harness slots. (See diagrams on page 4).

To adjust, squeeze the front release handle underneath the Tray and reposition. Release the handle. Ensure the Tray is securely locked. (See diagrams on page 5).
8. The dishwasher-safe Tray Insert snaps onto the High Chair Tray, held by tabs on the sides. Ensure it snaps into place. To remove, unsnap the tabs. (See diagram on page 5).

The Tray can be stored on the back legs of the High Chair by aligning its holes with the pegs on the back legs. (See diagram on page 5).

Never lift or carry a child in the booster seat. Stay near and watch the child. Never use on stools or benches without a seat back. Do not use in motor vehicles.
