Help please with antilop harness!!

[Wildwaterfalls]

Hi all

Very pleased with our IKEA antilop high chair, but decided to buy an additional harness for safety.

It's a standard Mothercare one but I am clearly a bit stupid sleep-deprived as I just cannot work out how to attach it to the chair. Aargh!

Has anyone done this?

Thank you!

I used reins - they used to come with either the long reign attachment or two little bits. I made the antilop strap as tight as it would go then threaded the reigns attachment bits onto the strap. Does that make any sense?

Thanks BR that was really quick.

I am really being exceptionally slow today - can I ask a follow-up question?

This harness has reins too so have now attached the actual longer reins. I have shortened the antilop straps so they can just be clipped closed, but no room for baby iyswim. Now how do I attach one to the other? How did you do the threading?

Thank you again!!

Back again, school runs and stuff, sorry.

I confused myself ^^^. Good that antilop strap is tight but you might have to take it back off again

So reins set comes with harness, long rein and 2 little rein thingys .

Ditch the long rein (well obviously don't but you don't need it got this )

Two little thingies I had had loops at the end. I just threaded these onto the antilop strap. Then adjusted the clippy in bit to the right length and clipped the harness bit on.

Is that any better? I would send you a picture but my youngest is approaching 4 and the high chair is long gone! However, the poorly described explanation worked for all 4 dc over a period of probably 10 years!!

Thank you so much!!

I had missed the loopy bits on the short thingies .

It now works beautifully! Have even inserted DD who looks very content (and secure!).

Great explanation - apologies for being so slow to get it
