Step 1: Remove the Harness
One important step in taking the Tripp Trapp tray off is to remove the harness. The harness ensures that your child is securely strapped into the seat while using the tray. Here’s how you can remove the harness easily:
1. Locate the buckle: The harness buckle is usually located on the back or bottom of the Tripp Trapp seat. Look for a sturdy plastic buckle that holds the shoulder straps together.
2. Unfasten the buckle: To remove the harness, simply press the release button or squeeze the sides of the buckle. This will loosen the straps and allow you to remove the harness from the seat.
3. Unthread the straps: Once the buckle is undone, carefully pull the straps out of the seat’s slots. Take note of how the straps are threaded through the seat so that you can easily reassemble them later.
4. Store the harness: To keep the harness safe and easily accessible for future use, you can store it in a secure place, such as a drawer or container, until you’re ready to reattach the tray.
Removing the harness is an important step as it allows you to have unrestricted access to the tray and makes the process of removing the tray itself much easier. By following these simple steps, you’ll be on your way to removing the Tripp Trapp tray in no time.
Remember, the safety of your child is of utmost importance. When reassembling the Tripp Trapp, make sure to securely fasten the harness and check that all straps are properly threaded through the seat. This will ensure a safe and comfortable seating experience for your little one.
Step 2: Adjust the Seat Position
Before you can remove the Tripp Trapp tray, you’ll need to adjust the seat position to make the process easier. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Stand behind the Tripp Trapp: Position yourself behind the chair so that you have a clear view of the seat and tray.
2. Locate the seat adjustment levers: Look for the seat adjustment levers located on either side of the chair, near the bottom. These levers allow you to adjust the seat height and angle.
3. Unlock the levers: To adjust the seat position, press down on both levers simultaneously. This will release the seat from its locked position, allowing you to adjust it as needed.
4. Adjust the seat height: While keeping the levers pressed down, lift or lower the seat to the desired height. You can choose a higher or lower position depending on your child’s comfort and the height of the table or surface where the Tripp Trapp will be used.
5. Lock the levers: Once you have set the seat to the desired height, release the levers to lock the seat securely in place. You should hear a click or a noticeable locking sound, indicating that the seat is properly adjusted.
By adjusting the seat position, you create more space between the seat and tray, making it easier to remove the tray without any obstructions. This step also allows for a comfortable seating experience for your child.
Note: It’s important to ensure that the seat is securely locked in position before proceeding to the next step. This will prevent any accidents or unexpected movements while removing the tray.
Now that you’ve adjusted the seat position, you’re ready to move on to the next step of removing the Tripp Trapp tray.
Step 3: Release the Tray Locks
To continue with the process of removing the Tripp Trapp tray, you’ll need to release the tray locks. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Locate the tray locks: Look for the two small locks on either side of the tray. These locks keep the tray securely attached to the Tripp Trapp.
2. Identify the release buttons: On each lock, you’ll find a small button or lever. These buttons are designed to release the locks and allow you to remove the tray.
3. Press the release buttons: Simultaneously press both release buttons while firmly holding the tray. This action will disengage the locks and loosen the tray from its position.
4. Check for any additional locks: Depending on the model and age of your Tripp Trapp, there may be additional locks located near the center of the tray. If so, make sure to release those locks as well by following the same process.
5. Test the tray’s stability: Once the locks are released, gently wiggle the tray to check if it’s loose. If the tray is still firmly attached, double-check that you have released all the locks properly.
By releasing the tray locks, you are preparing the tray for removal. This step ensures that the tray is not only secure but also easy to detach from the Tripp Trapp.
Note: It’s important to handle the tray with care and avoid any sudden movements while releasing the locks. This will prevent any accidental spills or injury during the tray removal process.
Now that you have successfully released the tray locks, it’s time to move on to the next step of actually lifting the tray off the Tripp Trapp.
Step 4: Lift the Tray Upwards
With the tray locks released, it’s time to lift the Tripp Trapp tray off the chair. Follow these steps to safely remove the tray:
1. Hold the sides of the tray: Place your hands on either side of the tray, near the edges. Make sure to grip the tray firmly to provide stability during the lifting process.
2. Lift the tray upwards: Apply upward pressure on the tray while keeping it level. Slowly lift the tray straight up to detach it from the Tripp Trapp.
3. Watch for any resistance: As you lift the tray, be mindful of any resistance or difficulty encountered. If the tray seems to be stuck, gently wiggle it from side to side to loosen it.
4. Continue lifting until fully detached: Lift the tray until it is completely detached from the chair. Once the tray is free from the Tripp Trapp, you can set it aside or place it in a safe location.
By lifting the tray upwards, you ensure a smooth and controlled removal process. Taking your time and being cautious during this step will help prevent any accidental damage or spills.
Note: If you’re struggling to lift the tray or if it feels too heavy, double-check that all the tray locks have been properly released. Also, ensure that you’re using proper lifting techniques to avoid strain or injury.
Now that you have successfully lifted the tray off the Tripp Trapp, you’re almost finished! In the next step, we’ll discuss how to set the tray aside.
Step 5: Set the Tray Aside
After successfully removing the Tripp Trapp tray, it’s important to set it aside in a safe and convenient location. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Choose a stable surface: Find a flat and stable surface where you can place the tray temporarily. Make sure the surface is clean and free from any objects that could potentially damage the tray.
2. Carefully place the tray down: Hold the tray with both hands, ensuring a secure grip. Lower it gently onto the chosen surface, being mindful not to accidentally bump or drop it.
3. Avoid placing heavy objects on top: To prevent any damage to the tray, avoid placing heavy objects on top of it. This will help maintain the tray’s shape and protect it from unnecessary wear and tear.
4. Keep it within reach: Place the tray in a location that is easily accessible for when you’re ready to reattach it to the Tripp Trapp. This could be on a nearby countertop, table, or even a designated tray storage area.
Setting the tray aside in a safe and convenient location ensures that it remains protected while you clean, adjust, or perform other tasks with the Tripp Trapp chair.
Note: It’s important to handle the tray with care to avoid any scratches or damage. Avoid dragging the tray along the surface or using excessive force when placing it down.
Now that the tray is safely set aside, you’re one step closer to completing the process of removing and reassembling the Tripp Trapp chair. In the next step, we’ll discuss how to reassemble the chair with the tray.
Step 6: Reassemble the Tripp Trapp
After removing the tray and completing any necessary tasks, it’s time to reassemble the Tripp Trapp chair. Follow these steps to put everything back together:
1. Retrieve the tray: Take the tray from the location where you set it aside. Ensure that it is clean and free from any debris or spills.
2. Align the tray with the slots: Hold the tray with both hands and align it with the slots on the sides of the Tripp Trapp chair. Make sure the tray is positioned correctly so that the locks can easily engage.
3. Lower the tray onto the chair: Steadily lower the tray onto the chair, ensuring that the locks on the sides engage with the slots on the chair. You may hear a click or feel a slight resistance when this happens.
4. Press down to secure the locks: Apply gentle downward pressure on the tray while pressing down on the tray locks. This will ensure that the tray is securely attached to the chair.
5. Double-check for stability: Once the tray is reattached, check that it is stable and doesn’t wobble or move excessively. If needed, readjust the tray or the locks to ensure a secure fit.
6. Reattach the harness: If desired, reattach the harness to the Tripp Trapp chair. Thread the harness straps back through the appropriate slots and securely fasten the buckle.
By following these steps, you can successfully reassemble the Tripp Trapp chair and have it ready for your child’s next mealtime or activity.
Note: Always double-check that the tray is properly attached and secure before allowing your child to use the chair. Additionally, ensure that the harness is fastened correctly for added safety.
With the Tripp Trapp chair reassembled, you can now enjoy its ergonomic design and flexibility for your child’s seating needs.
