As a mother and designer of the Messy Monkey High Chair Slipcover I want the best for all children; therefore, safety is important to me.  Each slipcover is designed to utilize the safety harness that all high chairs are assembled with on the market today.  When using the Messy Monkey Slipcover please follow the instructions on how to install your cover.  Messy Monkey strongly encourages you to utilize the harness system that is assembled on your high chair to avoid injury from falls and sliding out of the high chair.  Always secure child in the restraint (either in the reclining position or upright).  Always keep child in view while in high chair and never leave child unattended.
