4. Setup

Follow these steps to assemble your Ergobaby Evolve Bouncer:

1. Unfold the Frame: Carefully unfold the bouncer frame until it locks into an open position. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged.
2. Attach the Fabric Seat: Slide the fabric seat onto the frame, ensuring all loops and fasteners are securely attached according to the product's design.

5. Operating Instructions

The Ergobaby Evolve Bouncer offers three modes to accommodate your child's development:

5.1 Adjusting Height Positions

The bouncer features three adjustable height positions. To change the position, use the foot pedal located at the base of the bouncer. Press the pedal firmly and adjust the seat to the desired height. Ensure the seat locks securely into place before placing your child in it.

5.2 Modes of Use

• Newborn Lounger: Use the lowest position with the newborn insert for optimal support from head to hips. This mode is suitable for infants who cannot yet sit up unassisted.
• Infant Bouncer: As your baby grows and can hold their head up, remove the newborn insert and use the middle position. This allows for gentle, natural rocking motion initiated by your baby's movements.
• Toddler Chair: For older children (up to 29 lbs/13 kg) who can sit independently, the highest position transforms the bouncer into a comfortable toddler chair for reading or play.

5.3 Securing Your Child

Always use the integrated harness to secure your child in the bouncer. Ensure the straps are snug but not too tight, allowing for comfortable movement while preventing your child from falling out.

5.4 Portability and Storage

The bouncer is lightweight (8.4 lbs / 3.8 kg) and designed to fold flat for easy transport and storage. To fold, ensure the bouncer is in the lowest position, then follow the instructions in the quick start guide to collapse the frame. This allows for convenient movement between rooms or for travel.

The frame can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty adjusting height: Ensure the foot pedal is fully depressed. Check for any obstructions around the adjustment mechanism.
• Harness feels loose: Adjust the harness straps to ensure a snug fit around your child. Refer to the operating instructions for proper harness adjustment.
• Bouncer unstable: Verify that the frame is fully unfolded and all locking mechanisms are engaged. Ensure the bouncer is placed on a level surface.
