How to Install a Safety Harness on Your Baby's High Chair in 5 Steps
1. Identify the different straps
Before you begin, unfold the harness completely so you can identify its various parts.
This prevents the straps from becoming twisted during installation.
2. Position the straps on the high chair
Next, locate the designated spots on your high chair for threading or securing the harness.
The system may vary from one high chair model to another. It is therefore important to check the manufacturer's instructions for your high chair beforehand.
3. Thread the straps correctly
Install the various straps following the guidelines provided with the high chair. For wooden high chairs such as the Combelle or Tripp Trapp, tie the straps around the slats.
Take the time to check that they are lying flat and that none of them are twisted.
4. Secure the baby and fasten the harness
Once the device is in place, install your highchair cushion and seat your child. The harness will go over your child’s shoulders, between their legs, and clip fast at their stomach for a secure fit.
The straps should not be twisted or positioned in an uncomfortable way.
5. Adjust the harness to fit your child
The final step—and by no means the least important—is the adjustment.
Adjust the straps to fit your child's body shape and check their position before each use.
Of course, the setting will need to be adjusted as the baby grows.
Things to Check Before Every Meal
Once the car seat is installed, it only takes a few seconds to check its positioning before placing your baby in it.
In particular, make sure the straps are not twisted, that the fasteners are properly positioned, and that the fit is still appropriate for your child.
Just because a car seat has been installed once doesn't mean you'll never have to adjust it again: be sure to check its fit regularly as your child grows.
Key Takeaways
The harness must be compatible with the high chair being used and installed in accordance with the instructions for that high chair. The Timouny tutorial shows how to install the model featured, but it does not replace the safety instructions provided by your high chair’s manufacturer.
Never leave a child unattended in a high chair.
A comfortable cushion—and don't forget the harness
When adding a cushion to a high chair, it is important to ensure that the safety restraints can still be used properly.
That is why Timouny highchair cushions are designed to accommodate the highchair's original safety harness or to allow this type of harness to pass through.
They thus help make the high chair more comfortable for the baby and give a wooden high chair a fresh new look, especially when it’s a family heirloom that you want to keep and reuse.
Do you have a question about installation?
Since every high chair is different, it’s normal to have some doubts when it comes to installing the harness.
If you're using a Timouny cushion and have a question about how to thread the harness, please feel free to contact us and let us know the model of your high chair.
