Bugaboo North America, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has issued a voluntary recall of more than 18,000 Bugaboo Giraffe high chairs because of a serious fall hazard. The chairs’ legs can detach if screws loosen or fall out, potentially causing the chair to collapse even when the child is securely strapped in.
The recall affects chairs sold between May 2023 and April 2025. The $380 high chair, available in blue, black, natural wood/white, warm wood/gray, and white, has been popular among parents. Bugaboo has received 22 reports of the legs detaching—including 13 incidents resulting in minor injuries.
The problem stems from screws that can loosen during assembly or over time. If they fall out or fail, the legs may disconnect, causing the chair to tip over. Parents have shared their alarming experiences online, including one who reported the chair collapsing forward while their child was strapped in.
Bugaboo is offering free repair kits that include replacement screws, an improved Allen key, and detailed instructions to secure the legs.
How to Check if Your Chair Is Affected
Parents should locate the item code on the bottom of the seat and confirm whether it matches a recalled model:
- Blue: 200008005
- Black: 200008004
- Neutral Wood/White: 200008002
- Warm Wood/Gray: 200008003
- White: 200008001
What Parents Should Do
Stop using the chair immediately, even if it appears stable.

Bugaboo is proactively reaching out to customers who bought affected models. Parents who purchased a Giraffe high chair after May 1, 2025, do not need to take further action, as those chairs include the updated screws.
This recall serves as an important reminder to check the safety of children’s products and ensure that assembly is done properly to prevent risks.
