Ingenuity Beanstalk 6-in-1 High Chair: Newborn to Big Kid Setup

Start with the mode that matches your child’s stage

The Beanstalk is not a single high chair that you simply raise or lower. It is a convertible system with six distinct modes, each meant for a different stage between newborn and 5 years. Before you assemble anything, decide which mode you need right now. That choice determines which parts you attach, whether the tray is used, and how the seat is positioned.

The six modes are: Soothing Infant Seat, Full Size High Chair, Infant Dining Chair, Chair Top High Chair, Toddler Chair, and two ways to seat two kids at once. The infant seat is specifically designed for newborns and includes a toy bar and gentle vibrations. The other modes progressively move your child closer to the family table, ending with a toddler chair that works without the tray.

What the Beanstalk covers from newborn to 5 years

• Ingenuity Beanstalk Baby to Big Kid 6-in-1 High Chair, Newborn to 5 Years, Ray: Use from newborn up to 5 years (0–60 months). This is the full supported range; any mode you choose should fall within it.

  

• Ingenuity Beanstalk Baby to Big Kid 6-in-1 High Chair, Newborn to 5 Years, Ray: 6 modes of use: Soothing Infant Seat, Full Size High Chair, Infant Dining Chair, Chair Top High Chair, Toddler Chair, and 2 ways to seat 2 kids at once. Knowing all six modes helps you plan which configuration to set up now and which to save for later.

Assemble the frame and attach the seat for your chosen mode

The Beanstalk requires assembly. The supplied information does not include a step-by-step assembly sequence, so follow the printed instructions that come with the chair. What the record does confirm is that the seat pad and harness can be removed from the frame for cleaning, and that the infant seat detaches from the base and folds for storage when not in use.

For newborn mode, attach the soothing infant seat to the base. For the full-size high chair, infant dining chair, chair top high chair, or toddler chair modes, use the main seat with the appropriate tray or table-side configuration. The two-kid configurations combine specific modes: Soothing Infant Seat with Chair Top High Chair, or Chair Top High Chair with Toddler Chair.

Adjust the recline, footrest, and tray

1. Set the recline: The high chair and chair top high chair modes offer a 3-position recline. Adjust it before seating your child, and make sure it locks into place.
2. Adjust the footrest: In high chair and toddler chair modes, the footrest has two positions to match your child’s height. Move it as your child grows.
3. Position the tray: The tray is removable with one hand and has three locking positions. Choose the position that gives your child enough room while keeping the tray secure.
4. Fasten the harness: An adjustable 5-point harness is used in every mode. Buckle and tighten it so your child is tucked in securely.

Use the soothing infant seat for newborns

The Soothing Infant Seat mode is the only mode specifically described for newborns. It includes a toy bar with two plush toys and gentle vibrations to help calm your baby while you cook or eat. The vibration feature requires one C alkaline battery, which is not included. The infant seat detaches from the base and folds for storage, so you can move it out of the way when not in use.

The supplied information does not confirm whether the infant seat is suitable for overnight sleep or for use outside the home. Treat it as a supervised soothing seat, not a sleep product.

Key features that affect daily use

• Ingenuity Beanstalk Baby to Big Kid 6-in-1 High Chair, Newborn to 5 Years, Ray: Two front wheels make the chair easy to maneuver with one hand. You can move the chair between kitchen and dining areas while holding your baby.

Clean the seat pad, harness, tray, and frame

Mealtime messes are easier to manage because the seat pad is wipeable and the tray and tray insert are dishwasher safe. For a deeper clean, remove the seat pad and harness from the frame. The seat pad can be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dried on low heat or air dried flat. Do not use bleach. The harness straps should be air dried. The metal frame should be wiped with a soft, clean cloth and mild soap. The toy bar and plush toys should be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap, but do not immerse them in water. The headrest attaches with hook-and-loop patches; fasten all patches when reassembling.

Convert from high chair to big kid seat as your child grows

The Beanstalk is designed to grow with your child, but the supplied information does not specify exact age or size thresholds for moving between modes. Use your child’s development and the fit of the harness and seat as your guide, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each mode. The footrest adjustment in high chair and toddler chair modes helps accommodate longer legs. The toddler chair mode removes the tray so your child can sit at the table like the rest of the family.
