Division Falling hazards
United Kingdom
To avoid injuries due to the child’s standing up and falling or slipping out of the table-mounted chair, it must be designed in such a way that its restraint system prevents the child from standing up and falling or slipping out of it.
The table-mounted chair must be fitted with a restraint system that can be adjusted to the size of the child and must consist of at least a waist and crotch restraint. It must not be possible to use the restraint system without using the crotch restraint.
The restraint system, straps, anchoring points and fastening system must not break, become loose or tear away from their support under the internal and external forces that a child can apply.
The design of the restraint system must take into account all of a child’s potential movements in the table-mounted chair.
When set up for use, the height of the backrest of the table-mounted chair must be appropriately high. It must also be fitted with side armrests that are high enough to ensure that a child remains in the chair when he or she leans in any direction.
