General Warnings and Important Notes

WARNING: Failure to follow these warnings and instructions could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING: Prevent serious injury or death from falls or sliding out. Always secure the child in the restraint. NEVER leave the child unattended.

WARNING: The child should be secured in the high chair at all times by the 5-point restraining system, in any recline position. The tray is not designed to hold the child. It is recommended that the high chair be used in the upright position only by children capable of sitting upright unassisted.

Only approved SNAP TECH™ products can be used on the frame.
Other accessory items may alter balance and cause hazardous unstable conditions; use approved Baby Trend toys only.
Ensure the high chair is fully erect and latched in the open position before allowing the child near it.
Use with a child weighing over 40 pounds may cause excessive wear and stress.
NEVER use the high chair as a toy.
NEVER use this product if there are loose/missing fasteners, loose joints, broken parts, or torn mesh/fabric. Check before assembly and periodically. Contact Baby Trend Customer Service for replacement parts or repair. NEVER substitute parts.

IMPORTANT! Follow instructions carefully for safe operation.

IMPORTANT! Inspect product for damaged hardware, loose joints, missing parts, or sharp edges before assembly and each use. NEVER use if parts are missing or broken.

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 and check that you have all parts for this model. Some models may have the seat fabric and body insert pre-attached.

Frame Assembly

Take either the left or right Upper Frame Assembly. Press and hold the button, extend the frame, then release the button. (See Fig. 1a: Diagram of upper frame assembly with release button.)
Insert the front tube of the right and left side Upper Frame Assemblies into the Height Adjuster. The front tube has holes on the backside. (See Fig. 1b: Diagram showing insertion of front tube into height adjuster.)
Squeeze the Release Handles on both sides simultaneously and push the tube through the Height Adjusters until it locks in the highest position. (See Fig. 2: Diagram showing release handles and tube insertion for height adjustment.)
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. (See Fig. 3a: Diagram showing separation of tubes A and B.)
For the front legs, connect tube A to the left leg and tube B to the right leg. For the rear legs, connect tube A to the left leg and tube B to the right leg. (See Fig. 3b: Diagram showing connection of front and rear legs to extension tubes, indicating A and B connections.) Legs are properly connected when lock buttons align with holes on the upper frame assemblies. Ensure lock buttons are engaged before use.

Booster Seat Assembly

Slide Footrest posts into the front of the Seat until it clicks into place. (See Fig. 4a: Diagram showing footrest post insertion.)
Connect the Seat and lock into place. Pull up to ensure it is locked firmly before use. (See Fig. 4b: Diagram showing seat connection. See Fig. 4c: Diagram showing seat locked in place.)

Seat Pad Attachment

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 tabs 90 degrees once through the slots to ensure they are firmly in place. (See Fig. 5a: Diagram showing harness strap threading through seat back. See Fig. 5b: Diagram showing harness strap threading through seat base.)
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 Fig. 6a: Diagram showing pad flap over seat back. See Fig. 6b: Diagram showing elastic loops connecting pad to attachment tabs.)

The Tray has a 2-position adjustment. To adjust, squeeze the front release handle located underneath the Tray and reposition it. Release the handle and ensure the Tray is securely locked. (See Fig. 7a: Diagram showing tray alignment with armrests and handle operation. See Fig. 7b: Diagram showing tray with warning signs visible.)
