3. Assembly and Setup

Before assembly, ensure all parts are present. Refer to the included assembly guide for detailed step-by-step instructions. The rocker requires some assembly and the installation of batteries for the vibration feature.

3.1. Infant Rocker Mode

This mode is suitable for newborns and infants. The low-profile frame provides a comfortable and secure environment. The toy bar can be attached to provide interactive play or swung away for naptime.

3.2. Toddler Rocker Mode

As your child grows, the rocker can be converted into a toddler seat. The toy bar can be removed, and the seat can be adjusted to a more upright position. The kickstands can be flipped out to transition from a rocking motion to a stationary seat.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Adjusting the Seat Position

The seat offers multiple recline positions. To adjust, locate the recline adjustment mechanism (usually levers or buttons on the side or back of the frame) and follow the instructions to set the desired angle for your child's comfort and developmental stage.

4.2. Using the Calming Vibrations

To activate the calming vibrations, ensure batteries are installed. Locate the vibration switch (often on the front or side of the base) and turn it to the 'ON' position. Turn 'OFF' when not in use to conserve battery life.

4.3. Engaging the Toy Bar

The removable toy bar provides entertainment for infants. Attach it securely to the designated slots on the frame. To remove or swing it away, follow the specific release mechanism instructions to allow for easy access to your child.

4.4. Portability and Storage

The rocker is designed for easy portability and storage. To fold, locate the folding mechanisms (often buttons or latches on the frame) and collapse the unit as instructed. The kickstands can also be folded in for a more compact form.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Cleaning the Fabric Seat Pad

The fabric seat pad is removable and machine washable. Detach the pad from the frame according to the assembly instructions. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not bleach.

5.2. Cleaning the Frame

Wipe the frame, plastic parts, and toys with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not immerse the frame in water. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembly or use.

6. Troubleshooting

• Vibrations Not Working: Check if 2 D batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Ensure the vibration switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Rocker Feels Unstable: Verify that all frame components are securely locked into place. Ensure kickstands are properly engaged for stationary mode or folded for rocking mode.
• Difficulty Adjusting Seat: Ensure no fabric or foreign objects are obstructing the recline mechanism. Apply gentle pressure while adjusting.
