Bitty Baby Contemporary High Chair: Setup and Feeding Play Guide

Quick answer

Set up the Contemporary High Chair by attaching the removable tray, then use it as a centerpiece for pretend mealtime stories with your Bitty Baby doll.

Step-by-step setup and play guide

1. 1. Unbox and inspect: Remove the high chair and tray from the packaging. Check that all parts are present and that the legs lock into place securely. A common mistake is assuming all pieces are pre-assembled—verify the tray attaches and detaches smoothly before play. Test the tray attachment before the first use to avoid frustration during play.
2. 2. Position the high chair: Place the high chair on a flat, stable surface like a table or floor. Make sure it doesn’t wobble. For younger children, put it on the floor to prevent tipping. The neutral color means it works well next to other doll furniture or a play kitchen. A stable surface prevents accidental falls and keeps your child focused on play.
3. 3. Seat your Bitty Baby doll: Gently place the doll in the chair, ensuring her back is against the seat and legs hang naturally. If the doll is dressed in a bulky outfit, adjust her position so she sits upright. A common mistake is forcing the doll into a slouched position—this can make the tray hard to attach. Check the doll’s posture before adding the tray to ensure a snug fit.
4. 4. Attach the removable tray: Slide the tray onto the chair’s armrests until it clicks or locks into place. If it feels loose, remove it and realign the slots. The tray is designed for pretend dining, so you can place play food or dishes on it. Avoid overloading it with heavy items that could tip the chair. The tray should lock securely—never force it if it doesn’t align.
5. 5. Start a feeding play scene: Use small pretend food, spoons, or cups to act out a mealtime. Encourage your child to talk to the doll, offer bites, and clean up after. For extra realism, combine the high chair with a play kitchen or table set. The high chair’s modern look fits well with most doll accessories. Let your child lead the story—feeding play builds empathy and narrative skills.
