Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your product, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Vibrations Not Working: Ensure a fresh 1 C battery is correctly installed in the vibration unit. Check that the battery compartment is securely closed.
- Strap Adjustment Difficulty: The 5-point harness straps are designed for easy adjustment. If experiencing difficulty, ensure the straps are not twisted and that the adjustment mechanism is clear of obstructions. For larger adjustments, particularly when removing the newborn insert, ensure you are adjusting the straps from the back of the seat, not just the front.
- Toy Bar Obstruction: The toy bar is detachable. If it interferes with placing or removing your child, it can be easily removed and reattached.
- Unusual Sounds: If the unit makes unusual squeaking or cracking noises, inspect all connection points to ensure they are securely fastened.
