• Durable plastic construction.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: Adult supervision is required at all times. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

• Ensure the swing is securely attached to a sturdy support structure capable of holding the child's weight plus dynamic forces of swinging.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 50 lbs (22.7 kg).
• Always use the safety straps and T-bar for infants and younger toddlers to prevent falls.
• Regularly inspect the swing, ropes, and attachment points for wear, damage, or deterioration. Discontinue use if any damage is found.
• Do not allow children to stand in the swing.
• Keep hands and feet clear of moving parts.
• Install the swing over a soft surface, such as wood chips, sand, or rubber mulch, not concrete or asphalt.

Installation Instructions

This swing comes pre-assembled and ready for installation. No complex assembly is required. Follow these steps to securely install your swing:

1. Choose a Suitable Location: Select a location with a sturdy overhead support structure, such as a swing set beam, a strong tree branch, or a sturdy ceiling beam (for indoor use, ensure proper structural reinforcement). Ensure there is ample clear space around the swing for safe operation.
2. Verify Support Strength: The chosen support must be able to safely hold the weight of the child plus the dynamic forces generated during swinging. Consult a professional if unsure about the structural integrity of your chosen support.
3. Attach the Swing: Use the metal hooks at the end of each rope to attach the swing to appropriate swing hangers or sturdy loops on your support structure. Ensure both hooks are securely closed and cannot accidentally detach during use.
4. Adjust Height (if applicable): If your support allows for height adjustment, ensure the swing is hung at a safe height, allowing the child's feet to touch the ground when seated, or at a height appropriate for their age and ability.
5. Perform a Safety Check: Before first use, pull down firmly on the swing seat to ensure all connections are secure and the swing can bear weight. Check for any twists in the ropes that could affect stability.

Operating Instructions

Infant Mode (with T-bar and straps)

This mode is ideal for infants and younger toddlers who require maximum security.

1. Ensure the T-bar is in the upright, locked position.
2. Gently place your child into the swing seat, guiding their legs through the openings.
3. Fasten the adjustable shoulder straps securely over your child's shoulders and chest. Ensure they are snug but not too tight.
4. Always supervise your child while they are in the swing.

Toddler Mode (without T-bar and straps)

As your child grows and no longer requires the T-bar or shoulder straps for security, the swing can be converted to toddler mode.

1. To remove the T-bar, rotate it downwards and unclip it from the swing seat.
2. The shoulder straps can be moved to the bottom of the swing seat and stored conveniently out of the way.
3. Ensure your child is capable of sitting upright unassisted and can hold onto the swing ropes or sides for stability before using this mode.
4. Always supervise your child while they are in the swing.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the swing seat and ropes regularly with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all parts of the swing, including the seat, ropes, T-bar, straps, and attachment points, for signs of wear, cracks, fraying, or damage.
• Storage: If storing the swing for extended periods, especially during harsh weather conditions, it is recommended to bring it indoors to prolong its lifespan.
• Rust Prevention: The metal hooks are designed for outdoor use, but prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust. Consider applying a rust-inhibiting spray if necessary.
