IMPORTANT! Adult assembly is required.

IMPORTANT! Always check that the high chair is locked in the open position before using.

ATTENTION: Carefully remove parts from the box. Check that you have all parts for this model. Some models may have the Seat Fabric and Seat Insert already attached to the Seat Back.

Step 1: Assemble the Seat

1. Place the Seat Base on a flat surface.
2. Join the Seat Back to the Seat Base using the Seat Back Hinge Rod. To install, press down on the hinge rod retainer and insert the rod from right to left. (See Figure 2a and 2b for visual guide.)

Step 2: Attach Height Brackets and Footrest

3. Slide the left and right Height Brackets onto the Seat Base and lock them in place. (See Figure 3a and 3b.)
4. Slide the Footrest onto the Seat Base and lock it into place. (See Figure 4.)

Step 3: Attach Upper Frame Assemblies

5. Insert the front tube of the right and left Upper Frame Assemblies into the Height Adjuster. The front tube is identified by the array of holes on its backside. (See Figure 5.)
6. Squeeze the Release Handles on both sides simultaneously and push the tube through the Height Adjusters until it locks in the highest position. (See Figure 6.)
7. Insert the Legs into the ends of the front tube of both Upper Frame Assemblies. Ensure lock buttons align with holes and are engaged. (See Figure 7.)
8. Insert the rear Legs into the ends of the rear tube of both Upper Frame Assemblies. Ensure lock buttons align with holes and are engaged. (See Figure 8.)

Step 4: Attach Casters

9. Attach each Caster to the chair leg, snapping them into the bottom of the leg. Verify all four casters are securely fastened. (See Figure 9.)

Step 5: Attach and Operate Tray

⚠️ WARNING: Always check that the high chair is locked in the open position before using.

⚠️ WARNING: The tray is not designed to hold the child. The child must be secured by the 5-point restraint system at all times. The tray is not a restraint.

10. To attach the Tray, align the grooves on the bottom of the tray with the high chair armrests. Squeeze the Tray's release handle and slide the tray onto the armrests. The tray has a 3-position adjustment. To adjust, squeeze the release handle located underneath the tray and reposition it. Release the handle to lock. (See Figure 10a and 10b.)

Step 6: Attach Tray Insert

The dishwasher-safe Tray Insert snaps onto the High Chair Tray and is held by tabs. Ensure it snaps securely. To remove, unsnap the tabs.

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 pegs on the back legs. (See Figure 11.)

Step 7: Use Safety Belt

⚠️ WARNING: It is recommended that only children capable of sitting upright unassisted use the high chair in the upright position.

⚠️ WARNING: Prevent serious injury or death from falls or sliding out. Always use the restraint system. The child must be secured at all times by the 5-point restraint system (reclining, semi-reclining, or upright position).

The tray is not designed to hold the child. Always keep the child in view. NEVER leave the child unattended.

Step 8: Secure the 5-Point Harness

1. The shoulder straps have 2 attachment positions. Select the position where the strap is level with or below the child's shoulder. (See Figure 12a.)
2. Place the child in the seat. 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 ends of the shoulder/waist belts into the crotch strap buckle. Tighten the harness to be snug around the child's waist and over their shoulders. (See Figure 12b.)

Step 9: Release Safety Belt

Push the button on the center clasp to release the two harness buckles. (See Figure 13.)

Step 10: Recline Seat

Squeeze the recline lever on the back of the seat and adjust to the desired recline or upright position. Use caution not to trap arms, hands, or fingers when adjusting. (See Figure 14.)

Step 11: Adjust Seat Height

⚠️ WARNING: Do not adjust seat height with a child in the seat. Adjust before placing the child.

⚠️ WARNING: Ensure height adjustment supports are level and both sides are locked before placing the child.

⚠️ WARNING: Never rest the height adjustment bracket on the locking pins.

15. Squeeze the Release Handles on both sides of the Height Adjustment simultaneously and adjust to the ideal position. (See Figure 15a and 15b.) DO NOT adjust with the child in the seat.

ATTENTION: Ensure height adjustment locks in the lowest position. Do not rest adjustment brackets on locking pins. (See Figure 15c.)

Step 12: Engage Brakes

To engage brakes, apply downward pressure to the brake tabs. Check that the chair does not move and brakes are properly applied. To release, lift the brake tabs. (See Figure 16.)

Step 13: Fold High Chair

The high chair can be folded with the seat in any height position.

1. Place the seat in the desired height position. Place the Seat Back in the most upright position. (See Figure 17.)
2. Squeeze the tray release handle and slide the tray out. (See Figure 18.)
3. Hang the tray on the hooks located on the back of the rear leg. (See Figure 19.)
4. Pull upward on the release levers (on the sides of the frame) and push the rear legs towards the front legs until folded. The chair is now ready for storage. DO NOT allow children to play around a folded high chair, as it may fall. (See Figure 20.)

Step 14: Unfold High Chair

Reverse the folding steps.

Step 15: Reattach Seat Pad

1. Thread the non-buckle end of the Harness Straps (Harness Attachment Tabs) through the provided slots in the Seat Fabric, Seat Insert, Seat Back, and Seat Base. Rotate the tabs 90 degrees to ensure they are firmly in place. (See Figure 21.)
2. 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, fitting them over the Attachment Tabs near the top harness slots. (See Figure 22.)
3. Attach the bottom of the Seat Pad to the Seat Base using the two Elastic Loops located at the rear of the bottom of the Seat Pad. These fit over the Attachment Tabs on the Seat Base near where the Seat Back and Seat Base join. (See Figure 23.)
