PARENTS have been issued a strong warning after a popular Bugaboo highchair has been found to put kids at ‘risk of injuries’.
The – which retailed for around £200 – has been removed from the market after it did not meet safety regulations.
Specifically this affects batches 200001001, 200001002, 200001005, 200001007, and 200001013.
The hazard listed on the Gov UK website states that when an infant is seated in the baby chair, the legs of the wooden highchair can detach from the frame.
This occurs if the screws attaching the legs to the frame are “not tightly secured.”;

“The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.”;
While the product has been removed from the market, , Bugaboo will provide a free repair kit containing revised screws if you wish to continue using it.
The kit will include an updated Allen key and a user manual on the proper application of the screws.
The Bugaboo website has a search for checking if your Bugaboo Giraffe needs a repair kit.
The advice state: “If you want to continue using your Bugaboo Giraffe highchair until you have replaced the screws using the Repair Set, you can only do so safely if you put the footrest in its lowest position.
“You can put the footrest in its lowest position by pressing the two buttons located on either side of the footrest while sliding the footrest down.”;
Dutch brand Bugaboo has been designing and manufacturing luxury strollers, prams, and high chairs since 1999.
