The Silver Cross Buffet High Chair is a versatile and essential piece of baby equipment designed to provide a safe and comfortable feeding and resting solution for infants and toddlers. This manual outlines its functions, usage, and maintenance to ensure optimal safety and longevity.

Function Description

The Buffet High Chair serves two primary functions: a reclined cradle mode for newborns and a high chair mode for older infants and toddlers.

In Reclined Cradle Mode, the backrest is set in its lowest height position. This mode is suitable from birth up to 9kg or 6 months old, whichever comes first, and complies with EN12790:2009. It offers a secure and comfortable space for a baby to rest, though it is crucial to remember that this mode is not intended for prolonged periods of sleeping and does not replace a cot or a bed. If a child needs to sleep, they should be placed in a suitable cot or bed. The reclined cradle should never be used on an elevated surface, such as a table, due to the falling hazard. The restraint system must always be used in this mode. The toy bar, if included, should never be used to carry the reclined cradle.

In High Chair Mode, the backrest is upright and can be adjusted to various height positions. This mode is further divided into two sub-modes:

With Tray: Suitable from 6 months to 15kg or 3 years old, whichever comes first, complying with EN14988:2017+A1:2020. This setup is ideal for feeding solid foods, allowing the child to sit at the table with the family or independently.
Without Tray: Suitable from 12 months to 15kg or 3 years old, whichever comes first, also complying with EN14988:2017+A1:2020. This configuration allows an older child to be pulled up to a dining table, fostering independence and social interaction during mealtimes.

Across both modes, the high chair is designed with safety as a paramount concern, featuring a robust restraint system to keep the child secure. It is engineered to be stable and durable, providing a reliable platform for a child's early years.

Usage Features

The Silver Cross Buffet High Chair is designed for ease of assembly, adjustment, and use, offering a range of features that enhance convenience for parents and comfort for children.

Assembly:

The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for assembling the high chair. This includes attaching the front and rear legs to the main high chair frame using the provided leg attachment screws. The footrest is then secured with its dedicated attachment screws. The seat fabric is designed to be easily fitted onto the high chair frame, and the harness components are integrated for immediate use. The tray and tray cover are simple to attach and detach, facilitating quick setup and cleaning.

Adjustments:

Recline Positions: The high chair offers multiple recline positions, allowing it to transition from a reclined cradle suitable for newborns to an upright high chair for older children. Adjusting the recline typically involves pressing buttons or levers on the side of the seat and pushing or pulling the backrest to the desired angle until it clicks into place.
Height Adjustment: The height of the high chair can be adjusted to accommodate different table heights or to allow the child to sit at various levels. This usually involves pressing release buttons on the legs or frame and sliding the seat unit up or down until it locks securely.
Footrest Adjustment: The footrest can be adjusted to provide ergonomic support for the child's feet as they grow. This ensures comfort and proper posture during feeding.
Tray Adjustment and Removal: The tray can be adjusted forward and backward to fit the child snugly and prevent food from falling into their lap. It can also be easily removed for cleaning or when transitioning to the "without tray" high chair mode, allowing the chair to be pulled up to a dining table. The tray often features a removable tray cover for even easier cleaning.
Harness System: The high chair is equipped with a secure harness system, typically a 5-point harness, to keep the child safely restrained. The harness straps are adjustable to fit the child comfortably and securely as they grow. Instructions are provided for adjusting the shoulder straps, waist straps, and crotch strap.

Folding and Storage:

The high chair is designed to be foldable for compact storage, which is a significant advantage for homes with limited space. The folding mechanism usually involves releasing specific locks or buttons on the frame and collapsing the chair. It is crucial to keep children away when unfolding and folding the product to avoid injury.

Safety Warnings:

The manual emphasizes several critical safety warnings:

Never leave the child unattended in the high chair.
Always use the restraint system.
Prevent the child from climbing on the product to avoid falling hazards.
Do not use the product unless all components are correctly fitted and adjusted.
Be aware of the risk of open fires and other sources of strong heat in the vicinity of the product.
Be aware of the risk of tilting when the child can push their feet against a table or any other structure.
Do not use the product until the child can sit up unaided (for high chair mode).
Do not use the product if any part is broken, torn, or missing.
Only use accessories or replacement parts approved by the manufacturer.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the safety, hygiene, and longevity of the Silver Cross Buffet High Chair. The manual provides comprehensive guidelines for both product and fabric care.

Product Maintenance:

Protection from Elements: The high chair should be protected from adverse weather conditions such as water, rain, or snow. Prolonged and continuous exposure to bright sunlight can cause color changes in various materials, so it is recommended to store the product in a dry place. Regular maintenance is crucial.
Cleaning the Chassis: All plastic parts of the chassis should be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth. It is important to avoid using solvents or similar harsh cleaning products, as these can damage the materials. All metal parts should be kept dry to prevent rusting. Moving parts, including adjustment mechanisms, locking mechanisms, and wheels, should be kept clean and free of dust and sand. If necessary, these parts can be lubricated with light machine oil to ensure smooth operation.
Checking Fasteners and Connections: All nuts and bolts should be checked regularly for tightness and tightened when required. All coverings for bolts and sharp edges should also be checked and replaced if necessary.
Inspecting for Wear and Tear: The swing seat and attachments should be checked for any evidence of deterioration. Any worn or damaged parts should be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions to maintain safety and functionality.

Cleaning the Fabric:

Washing Instructions: The fabric components of the high chair should be washed with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent.
Avoid Harsh Treatments: It is crucial not to wring the fabric, use chlorine bleach, iron, or dry clean. These actions can damage the fabric and its properties.
Stain Removal: For stain removal, avoid using solvents.
Drying: The fabric should not be spin-dried. It should be allowed to air dry naturally.

By following these maintenance guidelines, parents can ensure that their Silver Cross Buffet High Chair remains in excellent condition, providing a safe and comfortable environment for their child for years to come.
