Troubleshooting
High chair feels wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the chair is placed on a flat, even surface. Adjust the floor gliders if unevenness persists.
Child not secure in the harness.
Verify that the 5-point harness is correctly threaded and adjusted snugly around your child. Ensure the crotch strap and bumper bar are properly installed and engaged. The bumper bar is fixed at 70 cm height from the floor, ensure this is appropriate for your child's size.
Difficulty adjusting the seat or footplate.
Loosen the side screws/mechanisms slightly, ensure no obstructions are in the grooves, and then reposition the seat/footplate before re-tightening securely. It may require a firm but controlled push/pull.
High chair does not fit under my dining table.
Measure your table's height from the floor. The Alpha+ chair has dimensions of 48x56x77cm. If your table's underside is lower than 77cm, the chair may not fit perfectly. Consider using it slightly pulled back from the table if necessary, ensuring stability.
Child slips down or posture seems incorrect.
Adjust the seat and footplate heights to ensure your child's feet are supported, and their knees are at roughly a 90-degree angle. This provides proper ergonomic support and prevents slouching. Ensure the harness is snug.
