The “Loeki” and “Bello” Atlas highchairs are solid eating/working chairs available in three sizes.
The chairs are adjustable in all directions to accommodate the child’s growth and to provide good
sitting support.
Loeki settings
The height of the chair is adjustable using a gas spring and the subframe is equipped with four
double locking swivel wheels. The seat width, seat depth and the footrest are easy to adjust using
head screws. The height and width of the armrests, and the height and depth of the backrest are
adjustable so that an optimal seating posture can be attained.
Bello settings
The Bello is adjustable in the same way as the Loeki. In addition, it is possible to adjust the angle
of the armrests and the footrest, thereby further optimising the child’s seating arrangements.
Children with poor truncal balance in particular benefit from these adjustable settings. «
Standard features
The chairs come with covered contour seats and a preformed backrest. The chair is modular which
means that the chair can be constructed to fit individual needs.

2. . S Sa af fe et ty y
Atlas put a great deal of care into ensuring the child’s safety. A great deal of effort went into
creating the proper design for the chair and its accessories. This extends to the initial settings of
the chair, which have been expertly engineered by Atlas. Nevertheless, it is imperative for the
child’s supervisors and parents to adhere to the following safety instructions in order to safeguard
the safe use of the highchair.
2.1 Safety instructions
a) Never leave your child alone in the chair and always supervise its use.
b) Ensure that all fastenings and parts used to secure the child in position are properly tightened.
c) Only use the chair on level ground.
d) Engage the brakes on at least two of the four wheels.
e) The Atlas chair is designed exclusively for interior use.
f) The Atlas highchair must not be used as a means of transportation.
g) Do not allow other children to play with the chair, push the chair forward or hang onto the
armrests.
h) Adjustments may only be done by parents or carers. Unless absolutely necessary, this should
not be done with the child still in the chair.
i) Once the adjustments have been made, properly tighten the lock screws and the adjusting
knobs and verify this has been done after each adjustment. Always turn the clamps to the
inside to avoid clothes from catching.
j) When adjusting the seating angle for the Bello, hold on to the chair in order to prevent it from
tilting too far when the seat is unlocked.
k) When turning over the tray table, be careful to ensure that the child’s fingers cannot become
jammed.
l) When moving or adjusting the chair, make sure that any loose fitting clothes, tablecloths, etc.
cannot be caught by the chair’s bolts, clamps or corners.
m) Avoid adopting an uncomfortable position for long periods of time while you are busy with a
child seated in the highchair. The legs of the subframe are designed so that it is easy for you to
stand between them while you lift the child in and out of the chair. However, be aware that the
legs protrude some distance away from the chair.
n) Never use the maximum height, width or depth to ensure a sturdy connection.
o) Do not exceed the maximum permissible load of 75 kg.
p) Any service carried out by someone other than a person authorised by Atlas Revalidatie
Techniek voids the warranty and causes Atlas Revalidatie Techniek’s general liability to lapse.
Safety instructions ‘a’ and ‘b’ are repeated on a warning sticker affixed to the highchair (see figure
below). Make sure that this text remains legible at all times. If necessary ask for a new copy of this
sticker.
2.2 Immediate danger
Practice the following steps designed to rapidly retrieve your child from the chair in the event of fire
or other immediate danger, until you are able to carry them out quickly.
Acting quickly in the event of fire or other immediate danger:
a) Unlock the tray table, pull it to the front and turn it to the side and turn the knee supports away,
if present;
Ensure that all the fastenings and par
ts used to secure
the child in position are properly tightened.
Never leave your child alone in the chair.
Always supervise its use.

A distinction is made between standard settings and daily adjustments to the highchair. Changes to
the standard settings always require tools. The daily settings are indicated by the clamps and the
adjusting knobs (see illustration 2).
4.1 Daily adjustments
There are a few settings that are adjusted as part of the daily use of the highchair. These
adjustments are required to lift the child in and out of the chair or to be able to change the seating
position of the child somewhat when needed. As shown in illustration 2, these daily adjustments do
not require any tools.
4.1.1 The brakes
•The brakes on the Atlas highchairs can be engaged and released by using the black lip attached
to each one of the four wheels.
•Engaging the brake:
Push the lip down with the front part of the shoe until it stays down (see illustration 3A).
•Releasing the brake:
Push up the lip with the front part of the shoe (see illustration 3B).
Illustration 2:
Above: adjusting knob.
Right: clamp.
Attention:

4.1.2 Adjusting the height of the seat
•The lever for adjusting the height of the seat is located at the bottom of the seat (see illustration
4).
•Hold the chair steady with one hand and with the other hand move the lever up or down to set
the seat to the desired height. Depending on the weight of the child, additional pressure may be
required to move the seat up or down.
•The seat’s height must be adjusted so that the child is seated at a good working height for the
supervisor, is seated at the same height as the other children or, for example, can be properly
positioned at a table.
4.1.3 Adjusting the seating angle (Bello only)
•The clamp for adjusting the seating angle is located to the left below the seat (see illustration
5A) and the adjusting screw is located to the right (see illustration 5B).
•First loosen the clamp for adjusting the seating angle. Then, while holding the backrest in
position with one hand, pull out the seating angle locking knob. Tilt the seat into the desired
position at a point where the locking knob springs back into its locking position. Retighten the
clamp and verify that the seating angle is properly secured by pushing firmly on the seat and the
backrest.
•If required, a passive or active seating posture can be achieved using the seating angle
adjustment mechanism. A change in seating posture is also a positive experience for the child.
Attention:
The initial settings or important changes to the seating posture may only be made by specially
trained personnel.
The highchair may only be adjusted by parents or carers after elaborate
instruction and careful study of this guide.

4.1.4 Adjusting the angle of the footrest (Bello only)
•The clamps for adjusting the angle of the footrest are located on both sides of the footrest (see
illustration 6).
•Loosen the clamps on both sides and adjust the bars to which the footrest is attached to the
desired position. After this, retighten the clamps securely. Make sure that the bars on the left
and the right are at the same angle. Verify that the bars have been securely tightened.
•If necessary, the angle of the footrests can also be adjusted. This provides the possibility of
setting the ankle and knee angles in an optimal position. Particularly children with poor truncal
balance benefit from this option.
4.1.5 Adjusting the angle of the armrests (Bello only)
•The clamps for adjusting the angle of the armrests are
located in the middle below the armrests (see illustration 7).
•Hold on to the armrest with one hand and loosen the clamp
with the other hand. Set the armrest to the desired position
and retighten the clamp securely. Adjust the other armrest so
that it is in the same position. Verify that the armrests have
been securely tightened. Ensure that the tray table is properly
secured and therefore cannot shift while the angle is
adjusted.
•When necessary, the possibility of adjusting the angle of the
armrests further increases the child’s potential seating
comfort. When the seat is tilted, the armrests (possibly
together with the tray table) can be placed in a horizontal
position again.
4.1.6 The height of the head support
•The clamp for adjusting the height of the head support is
located at the back of the head support (see illustration 8).
•Hold on to the head support with one hand and loosen the
clamp for adjusting the height of the head support with the
other hand. Position the head support at the desired height
and retighten the clamp securely. Push up on the head
support to verify that it is properly secured. If the height of the
head support is adjusted this way, it is important to make sure
that the angle of the head support is also adjusted properly.
•The head support must be able to provide support when the
head is positioned straight above the trunk.

Once it is repositioned, the depth of the tray table can be
readjusted by sliding it. Retighten the clamp and verify that
the tray table is properly secured by pulling at the front of the
tray table.
•If necessary, the depth of the tray table must be adjusted so
that the child is not wedged. Make sure that there is not too
much room between the child and the tray table so that, for
example, the child’s arms could become wedged.
4.1.8 The parts to secure the child in position (optional)
Leg harness:
• There are 4 fastenings at the back
of the seat for attaching the leg
harness that secures the child in
position (see illustration 10a).
There are two quick release clasps
at the front of the leg harness (see
illustration 10b).
• Only the locks at the front of the
leg harness are released when the
child is lifted into or out of the
chair. The fastenings at the back of
the seat remain locked in place.
• When necessary, the leg harness
keeps the child positioned at the
back of the seat and ensure that he/she cannot slide out of the chair. The leg harness must be
firmly secured, but must not pinch the child.
Belt:
•The belt to secure the child in
position is fastened to the chair at
the back of the seat. The belt can
be adjusted near the seat and near
the clasp (see illustration 11).
•The quick release mechanism at
the front of the belt is used when
the child is lifted into or out of the
chair.
•When necessary, the belt keeps
the child positioned at the back of
the seat and ensures that he/she
cannot slide out of the chair. The

at the front of the chair. The locking knob is
attached to the bar (see illustration 13).
•Push the bar on one side gently to the inside, pull
the locking knob up and then turn the leg support to
the side. Do the same thing on the other side. Make
sure that when the leg supports are repositioned,
the locking knob springs back into position and
verify that the leg supports are properly secured.

positioned in line with the upper leg, preferably with
the child’s kneecap positioned in the hollow of the
support. To make sure that the leg supports fit
snugly along the sides, bend the side plates,
without pinching. The Atlas logo on the leg supports
must always appear upside down.
Attention:
