Learn how to attach Helinox Rocking Feet to compatible chairs like the Sunset Chair or Chair One XL. Step-by-step guide with tips for a secure fit.

Quick Answer

Attach the Helinox Rocking Feet to the bottom of your chair legs to turn it into a rocking chair. This guide covers the simple installation process for compatible models like the Sunset Chair and Chair One XL.

Which Chairs Are Compatible?

The Rocking Feet (size XL) fit the Sunset Chair, Sunset Chair (re), Chair One XL, and Savanna Chair. They do not work with smaller models like the Chair Zero or Chair One Mini. Check your chair leg diameter before ordering.

If you have a different chair, measure the leg diameter and compare it to the Rocking Feet opening. The feet are designed for a snug fit and won't work on legs that are too narrow or too wide.

Choosing the Right Color and Style

Rocking Feet are available in multiple colors and compatible styles. Pick a color that matches your chair or adds a pop of personality. The style option may affect the look but not the function.

All versions use the same attachment mechanism, so your choice is purely aesthetic. The feet are sold as a set of two, one for each front leg.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare Your Chair: Unfold your chair and set it on a flat, stable surface. Make sure the legs are fully extended and locked. Remove any existing feet or accessories from the front legs if present. Check that the chair is stable and the legs are clean. Dirt or debris can prevent a secure fit.
2. Align the Rocking Feet: Hold one Rocking Foot with the curved end facing forward (the rocker part should point away from the chair). Slide the opening over the bottom of one front leg. Push it up until it stops at the leg's natural taper or a small ridge. Don't force it if it's tight. A slight twist while pushing can help seat it fully. If it's loose, the foot may not be compatible.
3. Repeat on the Other Front Leg: Attach the second Rocking Foot to the other front leg using the same method. Ensure both feet are at the same height and orientation for balanced rocking. Check alignment by looking from the front. If one foot is higher, the chair will rock unevenly.
4. Test the Rocking Motion: Gently lean back in the chair to test the rocking motion. The chair should rock smoothly without wobbling side to side. If it feels unstable, remove the feet and reattach them, making sure they are fully seated. Start with a small test. Rocking too aggressively on the first try can cause the chair to tip if the feet aren't secure.
