How are you supposed to close the legs so they don't break?

This product is very poorly designed. We used it for 7 months just pushing the legs closed, no problem. Then one day they just broke when we were opening and closing them the same way we always did. Unfortunately, as I wrote in my review, this product is great while it lasts, but it was designed to break and unfortunately was not worth the money spent.

One side collapses just fine (the tub has to be flat & the leg sits flat) but the other leg is stuck open.

The legs are on locking hinges that you pull out and then fold down. They are very secure when baby/water is in the tub and have great nonslip silicone feet on the bottom. When you are all done and ready to fold it all up you just flip it over, give them a tug and they unlock and fold down easily. The whole thing is probably less then 4" deep when folded and it hangs over the shower rod or a hook for easy storage. Very clever and well made.

There are plates at the bottom with screw holes. The legs go in the plates and there is a screw to tighten it and hold them in place just above the plate.

1. Be sure the rubber foot cups have the flat side down -- this will help level the unit and minimize sliding. 2 - tale legs apart and reassemble tightly. 3 - use unit on a flat surface using a firm chair (like a kitchen chair). Past all that I don't know.

It's kind of tricky. Relax and don't force it. Push one of the bottom leg bars first. I thought it was a pain at first, too.

there is a rubber stopper on the bottem of each leg. the piece if built correctly is durable and steady. I see the previous answer to your question and it sounds like they put them together wrong. I could have ordered this stool out of hillsdale catalog from a "dealer" for 355.00. very nice bar stools.

I had the same concern. Here is what I did and it actually worked. The put the legs and fluid mechanism in a medium dry bag and taped the top shut.

Take the legs off (they unscrew from the frame) and then pry off the edging material, The frame then folds in half. We use if for our granddaughter so we just leave it assembled all the time.

You control the closing with your foot. Nothing automatically stops it, but it doesn't slam down abruptly either. Specially if you have a little trash bag, this softens the closing.

OMG! NO! There is nothing to prevent the legs from telescoping shut all on their own. No locking mechanism. I put a manilla folder on mine with some papers in it, and came back to find one leg collapsed and papers all over the floor. If my 17" laptop had been on this my computer would have been badly damaged! It is flimsy, thin plastic. I do not recommend it for any use whatsoever. Maybe you will have more luck.

On the one I received there is a round tightener that needs to be loosened and then you slide the legs down the pole until they extend to whatever amount you want. If there is resistance when you try to do this then the screw needs to be loosened further. Also check that there is no damage to the legs or pole, there should be no problems at all and is just a very smooth sliding up and down for the legs to extend and then collapse back again.

Hi - there is one simple latch which you need to engage when using it in chair mode. I put a felt pad (one of those packaged self stick ones) on the legs. We really think it's sturdy!

Hold them waist high by the small end & drop them to the floor several times. It's in the instructions & it works for me.

The other suggestions offered will help you lock in the legs. Once they are locked in we decided to keep the legs in the locked position and store it like that so that it would always be ready. We keep it in a large Gymboree plastic bag along with toilet tissue, wipes and the liners so that we are always prepared.

There are three setting for the leg height. It has to be on the middle one to fold up and stay shut.

This is a constant problem. I have found that if I lean forward while pushing down the footrest it will close easier. I think it helps to redistribute the weight ( I only weigh 120 lbs.) I really like the chair and it was a great buy but this seems to be a real design flaw.
