Baby Bouncer & Swing Safety

Baby bouncers, rockers and swings require active adult supervision. Falls, tipping and entrapment can occur if these products are used incorrectly or placed on unsuitable surfaces.

For safer use:

• Place the product on a flat, stable surface recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never place a bouncer, rocker or swing on a bed, sofa, table, countertop or other elevated surface unless specifically designed and approved for that use.
• Use the supplied harness or restraint correctly.
• Adjust the harness according to your baby's size.
• Follow the recommended age, weight and developmental limits.
• Check the frame, base, seat, straps, buckles and locking mechanisms before every use.
• Keep babies away from hinges, folding mechanisms and suspension points.
• Stop using the product if your baby can climb out or reaches the manufacturer's stated limit.
• Keep cords, loose blankets, toys and other objects away from the baby's face and moving parts.
• Do not carry or move the product with your baby inside unless the product is specifically designed and approved for that purpose.

A safety harness helps secure your baby but does not replace active adult supervision.
