Quick answer
Fit the Leander baby insert onto the Louie high chair before placing your baby in it, then adjust the high chair's backrest, seat and footrest so the insert sits level and close to the table. Use the insert only for babies from 0 to 6 months and up to 9 kg.
Why the insert changes how you set up the high chair
The baby insert is not a cushion you drop onto a ready-made seat. It turns the Louie high chair into a lie-flat spot for a newborn, which means the high chair's own adjustable parts need to be set for the insert rather than for a sitting child. If you set the chair up for an older child first, the insert may sit at an angle or leave a gap at the back.
This is also why the insert is a short-term piece of equipment. It is designed for babies from 0 to 6 months and up to 9 kg, so plan to remove it once your baby reaches either limit rather than stretching it into the sitting stage.
When the insert is the right choice, and when it is not
Choose the insert if you want your newborn at the table with the family during meals or while you need your hands free, and your baby is still within the 0–6 month, 9 kg range. The Cappuccino version is simply a colour choice; the fitting process is the same as for other colourways.
Do not use the insert as a substitute for a carrycot or a flat sleep surface, and do not keep using it once your baby can sit upright unsupported. At that point the standard high chair seat, adjusted for a sitting child, is the correct setup.
Step-by-step: fitting the baby insert
- Check the age and weight limits: Confirm your baby is between 0 and 6 months and weighs no more than 9 kg before you start. If either limit has been reached, stop and switch to the standard high chair seat. Write the date your baby turns 6 months on your calendar so you remember to reassess.
- Set the high chair to its newborn position: Adjust the Louie high chair's backrest, seat and footrest so the seat area is as flat and supportive as the chair allows for a lying baby. Make these adjustments before the insert goes on, not after. A common mistake is adjusting the chair with the insert already in place, which can leave the insert sitting at an angle.
- Mount the insert onto the high chair: Place the insert onto the prepared seat and press it down so it sits evenly across the seat and backrest. Follow the insert's own mounting points rather than forcing it into a position it does not naturally take. Check that no part of the insert is folded under or trapped against the chair frame.
- Check the fit at the table: Push the high chair up to the dining table and check that the insert brings your baby close enough to feel part of the meal without the tray or table edge pressing on the insert. If the chair has a tray, decide whether to use it or the table before you settle your baby in. If the insert looks tilted once the chair is at the table, re-level the chair rather than propping the insert.
- Do a final stability check with your baby in place: With your baby settled in the insert, check that the insert has not shifted, that the harness or restraint you use sits correctly over the insert, and that the chair does not rock unexpectedly. Make any adjustment with your baby out of the chair. Re-check the fit each time you move the chair between rooms or change the backrest angle.
