Learn to fold your Cosco Simple Fold High Chair in seconds. Follow these three easy steps for compact storage in small spaces.
Quick answer
Folding a Cosco Simple Fold High Chair takes just three simple actions: unlock the tray, squeeze the folding trigger, and push the chair flat. The whole process is under 10 seconds.
Why the Simple Fold design makes storage easy
The Simple Fold High Chair is built for parents short on space. Its folding mechanism collapses the chair to a slim profile that slides into a closet, behind a door, or into the trunk of a car. The chair weighs only about 8 pounds, so you can carry it one-handed after folding.
One common worry is that the chair might be unstable when folded. In practice, the folded chair stays locked and upright on its own, so you can lean it against a wall without it tipping over.
How to fold your Simple Fold High Chair in seconds
- 1. Remove and store the tray: Press the release buttons on both sides of the tray and pull it forward. Set the tray aside or store it flat. The 3-position adjustable tray can also be left in its lowest position if you prefer. Check that both release buttons click back into place before you try to fold.
- 2. Locate and squeeze the folding trigger: Look for the folding trigger on the back of the chair, usually near the top of the rear legs. Squeeze the trigger and keep it held down. The chair will begin to collapse. If the trigger feels stiff, do not force it—make sure the tray is fully removed first.
- 3. Push the seat down to fold flat: While holding the trigger, push the seat downward with your other hand until the chair folds completely flat. You should hear a click confirming it is locked in the folded position. Always store the folded chair on a dry, flat surface to prevent the mechanism from getting jammed.
