Learn how to attach, remove, and adjust the tray on the Cosco Simple Fold High Chair with these clear, step-by-step instructions for busy parents.

Quick Answer

To install the tray on the Simple Fold High Chair, line up the tray arms with the slots on the seat arms and push until you hear a click. For removal, press the release buttons on both sides and slide the tray forward.

Why Proper Tray Installation Matters

A securely attached tray is essential for safe and stress-free mealtimes. If the tray isn't locked in place, food and drinks can spill, and your child may push it off. The Simple Fold High Chair's tray is designed to click into position, and knowing how to align it correctly prevents frustration and accidental releases.

Adjusting the Tray as Your Child Grows

The Simple Fold High Chair features a full-size, 3-position adjustable tray that gives your child extra room as they grow. You can move the tray closer or farther from your child to ensure a comfortable fit. This adjustment is easy to do and helps extend the life of the chair from infant through toddler years.

Step-by-Step Tray Installation and Removal

  1. Prepare the High Chair: Ensure the high chair is fully unfolded and locked into place. Place it on a flat, stable surface. Check that the seat pad is properly positioned and the chair is stable. Always verify the chair's stability before attaching the tray.
  2. Align the Tray Arms: Hold the tray with both hands and align the two arms on the underside of the tray with the slots on the armrests of the high chair. The tray should be level and facing the correct direction. If the tray doesn't slide in easily, check the alignment—don't force it.
  3. Push to Lock: Push the tray toward the chair until you hear a click on both sides. Tug gently to confirm it's secure. If it doesn't click, remove and try again. Always double-check both sides are locked before placing your child in the chair.
  4. Adjust the Tray Position: To adjust the tray closer or farther from your child, release the adjustment mechanism (usually a button or lever under the tray) and slide the tray to the desired position. Ensure it clicks into place. Adjust the tray so your child has a comfortable gap, not too tight or too loose.
  5. Remove the Tray for Cleaning: To remove the tray, press the release buttons on both sides of the tray simultaneously and slide the tray forward. Lift it away from the chair. Clean the tray with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry before reattaching. Clean the tray after every meal to keep it hygienic and prevent buildup.
