How can you be sure the foot and seat plates don't slide out? Is there something that holds the plates firmly in place?

Yes, you have to actually unscrew them to move them / screw them into place. We love our Keekaroo -- our 5 year old still uses it as a stool at our kitchen island. She has been sitting in it since she was a baby and it is still like new. We simply switched the foot and seat plates so they fit her larger body now and it works perfectly.

You tighten the bolts on each side enough that that they don't move. Mine has been in the same position for over 3 years and my guy is pretty rambunctious!

There are 2 black rods that hold run under the seat and foot plates that serve 2 purposes: to hold the seat together and to keep the plates in places. The rods are tightened with a allen key. If they are kept tight, the seat and foot plates are very secure and will not move.

Foot and seat plates are placed into horizontal grooves the prevent them from falling down. Horizontally they are hold by friction to sidewall (legs of the chair). As long as the bolts are reasonably tight there is no play in the seat and foot plate. This part of design feels solid to me and neither of the plates did slide out in the past couple of years (and one of my kids is very active)

Just hold the seat down (firmly) and start screwing in the screws. That will work.

There's nothing on the bottom to keep it from sliding, but it has not been a problem for me. You could easily add small clear adhesive pads that are soft & non slippery. They can be found with the felt furniture pads.

Well they shouldn't be loose when you first put it together or at least mine wasn't. make sure that the washer that is curved or warped to fit the bar is flush against the bar. those two legs loosen a little on mine because i stand on them when stepping up to the dip bars. i've tightened them when they get loose and they will last 2 or 3 sessions before tightening again. hope this helps.

No. I had concerns about that but have not found it an issue. It is of good weight on the base plate so it doesn't slide around. It just has a "functional" roll when you want it to move.

I found they sometimes get a bit stuck. Normally they should come out by pushing them lightly. Usually it helped when I unscrewed that bit just slightly until the legs drop out and then screw it up again.

Make sure the foot bar is not in the down position which is lock and nothing in way of fold areas. My chair has not needed lubricant.

I guess you could say friction but gravity really. There are adjustment screws on the edge but the plate is heavy. Once adjusted properly it doesn't move. Really nice plate for the money (IMHO). Hope this helps. Ward.

The foot platforms are made of hard plastic and secured with 6 screws. I have an older trikke I bought on ebay and a new one and I haven't had a problem with either one of them coming loose at all. Hope that helps.

They don't exactly lock into place. There is grooves they set in to keep them in place. I have not had problems with them moving so it seems to work for me.

Ours too, not too bad though, but check gaps between slider parts make sure nothing is rubbing and body of chair and glide parts.

I think the answer by LB is write on. I had to adjust mine a few times before stopped it from sliding when I sat on it. It is all in the "installation Manual" that came with the toilet. Bang

Once the legs are assembled to the top, merely turn it upright slide the bottom shelve between the legs and it will slip to the bottom and be secure. It fits snug and is secure!

Be sure the table locks are off and the table is in the down position. Then, with one hand on either side of the short side of the seat, push the sides together. It's a little hard, which to me means the chairs are VERY sturdy and not easy to collapse. Voila!

I preface my reply by saying that we are very pleased with these stools especially at the price we paid. However, the knob that tightens the foot rest will loosen from time to time. Obviously its not difficult to re-tighten, but this design could be improved. I would purchase this chair again in the event I needed another one.

There is a solid top that slides on and a grate with bars above that. You could leave the solid plate out. I'm going to try that out myself.

mine is 50mm, therefore when i put my oly plates on them there is a little bit of slide space. not so much that it will jingle jangle but enough that it is not a tough resistance to slide my plates on
