Operating Instructions
The Ingenuity Keep Cozy offers three modes of use to accommodate your child's developmental stages.
1. Bouncer Mode (Infant)
In bouncer mode, the seat provides gentle bouncing motion, often enhanced by soothing vibrations. This mode is ideal for infants who cannot yet sit up unassisted.

2. Rocker Mode (Infant to Toddler)
To engage rocker mode, ensure the kickstand at the rear of the seat is folded away, allowing the curved base to rock freely. This mode provides a soothing back-and-forth motion.

3. Stationary Seat Mode (Toddler)
To convert to a stationary seat, extend and lock the kickstand at the rear of the seat. This stabilizes the seat, making it suitable for toddlers who can sit independently.

Vibration Feature
To activate the soothing vibrations, locate the power switch on the vibration unit, typically found underneath the seat. Toggle the switch to the 'ON' position. Ensure a fresh C battery is installed for optimal performance.
Reclining Positions
The seat offers two reclining positions for your child's comfort. Adjust the recline by pressing the release buttons on the side of the frame and moving the seat to the desired angle. Ensure it locks securely into place.

Harness System
Always secure your child using the 5-point harness system. Place the child in the seat, bring the shoulder straps over the child's shoulders, and the waist straps around their hips. Connect the buckles and adjust the straps to a snug fit, ensuring the child cannot slip out.
