Learn how to convert your Lalo Play Chair into a high chair with extension legs and secure your little one with a belly bar. Step-by-step guide.
Quick answer
To extend your Lalo Play Chair into a high chair, attach the High Chair Legs (product ID 551470) and secure your child with the Belly Bar (product ID 551472) for safe family meals.
Why extend your Play Chair?
If you already own The Play Kit, adding the High Chair Legs is a cost-effective way to create a high chair without buying a separate piece of furniture. This is especially handy when you're expecting another little one and need a second seat.
The Belly Bar is a simple add-on that keeps your baby secure during meals, and it lets you use The Chair without The Tray—so your child can sit right up to the table for family dining.
What to consider before you start
Before you begin, check that you have the correct model of Play Chair and that the legs and belly bar are compatible. The High Chair Legs are designed specifically for the Play Chair, so they won't fit other chairs.
Also, think about where you'll use the high chair. The extended legs raise the seat height, so make sure your table and floor space can accommodate the taller chair.
How to extend your high chair: step-by-step
- Gather your tools and parts: Make sure you have the High Chair Legs and a screwdriver (if needed). Check that you have all the screws and that they match the holes on your Play Chair. Don't skip checking the parts; missing screws can compromise stability.
- Remove the original legs: Turn the Play Chair upside down and unscrew the existing short legs. Keep them in a safe place in case you want to switch back later. A common mistake is losing the screws—store them with the original legs.
- Attach the High Chair Legs: Align the new legs with the mounting holes and secure them tightly. Make sure all screws are snug but avoid overtightening, which could strip the threads. Check that all four legs are evenly tightened to prevent wobbling.
- Snap in the Belly Bar: Position the Belly Bar between the legs (or as designed) and snap it into place. Ensure it clicks securely and can't be easily pulled out by your child. Test the bar by gently pulling it—if it comes loose, re-seat it properly.
- Test stability before use: Place the high chair on a flat surface and give it a gentle shake. Also, sit your child in it and adjust the belly bar so it fits snugly but comfortably. Never leave your child unattended, even with the belly bar secured.
