Common Questions
27 totalHow do I secure my infant properly in the Simple Sway Swing?
Always secure your infant in the restraint system provided and use the slide adjusters at the shoulder and waist to get a snug fit around your infant after fastening the buckles. Make sure the harness straps go into the slot that is even with or slightly above the shoulders, and avoid twisting the straps. Never leave your infant unattended in the swing.
What batteries does the Simple Sway Swing require and how do I install them?
The swing requires four D (LR20-1.5V) cell batteries, which are not included. Open the battery compartment lid by inserting a screwdriver into the coin slot, insert the four batteries, and check that they are put in correctly—your swing will not run if the batteries are inserted backwards. The recommended type is alkaline disposables, and you should never mix battery types.
Why won't my swing operate?
There are several possible causes: no batteries in the swing, dead batteries, speed setting too low, batteries inserted backwards (check the '+' and '-' markings), corrosion on battery terminals (rotate batteries in place or clean with sandpaper if severe), the baby grabbing swing legs, or the swing may need to be pushed to start. Check each of these issues in order.
How do I turn the swing on and off?
To turn the swing on, rotate the speed dial clockwise and lightly push the swing to get it started. Observe the swinging motion for a minute as it takes time for the swing to adjust to a setting. To turn the swing off, turn the dial counter-clockwise until it clicks into the 'OFF' position.
What is the weight limit for the Simple Sway Swing?
Discontinue use of the swing when the infant reaches 30 pounds (13.6 kg) or when the infant attempts to climb out. The swing is not designed to be used beyond this weight limit.
How do I clean the seat cover and frame?
To clean the seat cover, refer to the care tag on your seat pad for washing instructions—use no bleach. To clean the frame, use only household soap and warm water with no bleach or detergent. Avoid excessive exposure to sun or heat as it could cause fading or warping of parts.
