Quick answer
Adjust the MBHC2 highchair in four key areas as your baby grows: seat height, recline angle, tray position, and harness height. The compact fold frame stays stable through all adjustments.
Why adjustment matters as your baby grows
A highchair that fits properly supports safe feeding and good posture. The MBHC2 Compact Fold Highchair is designed for babies from around 6 months up to toddler age, so you will need to change its settings several times. The three-point harness, adjustable footrest, and removable tray all adapt to different stages. Ignoring these adjustments can lead to slouching, discomfort, or the baby trying to climb out.
How to adjust the MBHC2 highchair in 6 steps
- 1. Adjust the seat height: Locate the two buttons on the sides of the seat back. Press both simultaneously and lift or lower the seat to one of the three height positions. The seat clicks into place when fully engaged. Common mistake: adjusting only one side. Always press both buttons evenly to avoid the seat tilting.
- 2. Set the recline angle: Find the recline lever under the front edge of the seat. Squeeze it and push the seat back to one of the three recline positions: upright (for older babies), mid-recline, or fully reclined (for younger babies who cannot sit unsupported). Checkpoint: the recline lever must spring back fully after each adjustment. A stuck lever means the seat is not locked.
- 3. Move the footrest: The footrest has two positions. Press the button underneath the footrest plate and slide it in or out to match your baby's leg length. The footrest should support the soles of the feet, not just the calves. Common mistake: leaving the footrest in the lowest position for a small baby, which lets their legs dangle and encourages sliding.
- 4. Adjust the tray position: The removable tray slides onto the arms in two depth positions. For a smaller baby, use the closer position to keep food within reach. For an older toddler, slide it to the farther position for more room. Checkpoint: always hear the click on both sides. A partially clicked tray can pop off during mealtime.
- 5. Change the harness height: The three-point harness straps thread through slots in the seat pad. Unthread the straps, move them up or down to the next set of slots, and rethread them. The shoulder straps should sit at or just below your baby's shoulders. Common mistake: straps too high (they can slip off the shoulders) or too low (they restrict arm movement). Adjust as soon as your baby's shoulders reach the current slot.
- 6. Fold and store between uses: Press the folding buttons on both sides of the frame, then push the seat forward until the highchair collapses flat. The compact folded size makes it easy to store in a cupboard or against a wall. Checkpoint: never fold the highchair with the tray attached. Remove the tray first to avoid damaging the release mechanism.
