Tips & safety
- Safety castors The castors brake automatically when nobody is sitting on the chair — so it won’t roll away (manual p. 19).
- Adjust the chair to fit your child Lift the lever under the seat to change the height; loosen the knob to move the backrest (manual p. 13–14).
- Warning: gas cylinder Only trained personnel may replace or repair the seat height adjustment parts (manual p. 15).
