How to Fold Cosco High Chair?
Cleaning the tray before folding the high chair is essential to prevent mold and bacteria from growing on it. The same is true for the high chair seat because if it isn’t cleaned after your child uses it, liquid or food particles could fall out and grow bacteria.
Remove the Tray
To make it simpler to find and pull the trigger, it is best to stand behind the high chair while removing the tray. Without the tray being released, the chair will not be able to be folded.
Be careful when removing the tray to avoid damaging the side rails, as doing so will make it more difficult for the tray to slide on and off smoothly in the future.
Locate Triggers
At the side of the high chair, toward the back, there are two latch triggers. Using both hands makes it simpler because you can control the motion better and hold it all together to prevent issues if you do it together.
Be prepared for the chair to try to fold back on itself if you have to do it one-handedly. To avoid this, it is best to open the high chair before removing your child from the pram or another resting place.
Pull the Triggers
Pulling up both triggers at once is recommended. When you first purchase the high chair, the latches might be stiff, so this might take a little practice.
Bring the Chair Upwards
Place your thumb against the chair to add leverage, which will allow you to click the trigger and cause the chair to start lifting up. When the triggers are pulled, a clicking sound will be audible, indicating that you can begin to raise the chair’s bottom.
Begin to Fully Fold the Chair
Take care not to entrap your fingers as the chair begins to fold inward and collapses on itself. The chair will start to fully collapse as you raise your hands.
Push Seat Forwards
The seat of the high chair should be pushed downwards and be aligned with the high chair legs by pushing the back of the chair upwards
Hold Legs and Seat Railings
The legs of the high chair and the seat railings should be grabbed in one hand
Complete the Fold
Pushing together is all that is necessary to fully collapse the chair after it has been folded. You will need to hold on to both the top and bottom of the chair as you move it to its storage position because there isn’t a button or strap to keep it together.
How to Unfold the Cosco High Chair?
There are four easy steps as follows.
Hold the Back of the High Chair
Take hold of the high chair with the seat facing outward and the legs facing you. To make the process go more quickly, you should be standing behind the chair as you do this.
Fix the Legs to the Floor
By holding on to the top edge of the back of the seat to steady the legs, you can secure the high chair legs to the ground (it doesn’t matter if they are not exactly where you want to use the fair because you can move it once it is unfolded).
Remove the Seat Away from the Legs
You can restrain the legs from the seat by raising it and pulling it back. Once it is in the upright position, you will hear a click.
Fix the Tray in Place
The tray can be positioned over the side railings by sliding it over the railing in the direction of the high chair’s back. The two side handle buttons can be pressed to enable a smoother clipping in if the tray proves difficult to install.
Once the tray is in place, you will hear a clicking sound. Before placing your child in the high chair, give the tray a little wiggle to make sure it is securely in place.
How to Storage Cosco High Chair?
The chair may start to unfold again on its own because there is no fastener to keep it folded. If you have a lot of space, it shouldn’t matter too much if it begins to fold slightly because this unfolding might be minimal.
If you are storing it for a longer period of time, a cupboard or basement is ideal; if you are storing it for a shorter period of time, place it against a wall or down the side of a cupboard; keeping the front facing in will help keep it together better.
In the event that it is kept for an extended period of time, make sure to store the tray with the high chair to prevent losing it. Even if it is only for brief periods, you should keep the tray stored with the high chair because it will be simpler to infold with it there.
In order to prevent the tray from accumulating too many germs, try to store it in a spot that is clean, but it is always preferable to wipe the tray down before using it again. It is best to keep a clean cloth nearby for general cleaning purposes so that you can quickly wipe down the trays, seats, backs, and legs.
Use an antibacterial spray or wipe before and after folding and unfolding the chair’s legs and frame. Make sure to dry the chair completely after washing it if you plan to store it for an extended period of time to prevent rust or the growth of mold.
What Are Safety Measures of Cosco High Chair?
Before attempting to fold and unfold your Cosco high chair you should be aware of the following safety precautions
- Ensure that there are no children or pets nearby as you do not want any parts of the chair to hit them or for them to get their hands trapped as you fold the high chair
- Make sure you have a safe place to store the high chair, for example not leave it out in the middle of the room or near stairs where people can trip over it
- Keep all of the high chair parts nearby so that you do not lose any as every part of the high chair works together to keep your child safe
- Before making any changes or moving the high chair from one area of the room to another, make sure to remove your child from it. No matter how well your baby sits in their chair there is a risk of them falling out if you do not take this precaution
- Never leave your baby in the high chair without an adult in the room in case of any falls or if your baby tries to escape
