Fisher-Price Deluxe Infant to Toddler Rocker, Alpha Fun (Installation guide)

Preloved Fisher-Price Deluxe Infant to Toddler Rocker at 60 SGD



The retail price I paid for this infant-to-toddler rocker is 109 SGD.
I am willing to let go at 40SGD.
The metal frame of the rocker is heavy duty and sturdy. The main flaw that i can see are the two ~ 5mm tear in the seat cushion cover. Please find more pictures below.

This is one of the best baby products that I love and I believe many mothers love them as much too.
Especially when you have fussy baby, this rocker is your life saver.
The seat of this rocker is deep. It has a 3-point harness. When baby in the seat, turn on the calming vibrations, baby soon fall asleep. The calming vibrations require a D battery (Provided). Sometimes when baby is really fussy, you may also tow away the kick stand and begin rocking gentle baby to sleep.
When new born baby turn 6 month old to start his first semi solid food, this rocker serves this purpose very well. Pull out the kick stand to make the rocker stationary. The toy bar is completely removable too. Feeding baby is completely easy and obstruction free.
The rocker seat cover is soft and lightly padded, very comfortable. It's machine washable.
This rocker can continue to be used until baby turn into toddler. It grows with baby for toddlers up to 40 lbs (18 kg)(About 4-5 years old).

Pick up from my home at Blk 53, Chin Swee Road (Chinatown).

Fisher price Luv U Zoo Cradle swing (Installation guide)

Preloved Fisher price Luv U Zoo Cradle swing for sale at 150 SGD





I bought this swing from US about 3 years ago for close to 300 SGD. My baby was too big for the swing then thus we only use it for less than 10 times.
I wanted to keep this for my future children then, but My husband and I decided not to have anymore children now.
The condition of this swing is excellent (9.5/10), almost like new. One of the pictures that I have posted is the base of the foot of the swing, it's clean, dust free, like new.
One of the flaw that i can see the the careless stain from installation on the seat at the crouch rest. I have taken an enlarged picture. For interested buyers, i will share all pictures and videos taken on this swing.
I believe the price listed is a reasonable one at 150 SGD. Negotiable.

The swing is easy to install and comes in its original box. I have lots of pictures on how to set up the swing.

Installation Guide

Step 1: Following the instruction from the guide book...


I use a ikea stool to help me to rest one of the lower leg so that it is able to stand properly.



I have labelled the bottom of the foot and the lower leg properly so that when the 2 parts are dismantled, they can be easily re-installed again.



After the bottom of the foot is fitted properly together with the lower leg, turn the foot around,
you will be able to see the hole to insert the screw and tighten it using the Allen key.
After you are done with one side of the leg, repeat the same on the other leg.

* Note the base of the root is clean, dust free, like new!







Step 2:




I have labeled upper left leg that joins with lower left leg accordingly:


Upper right leg that fits into lower right leg are labeled as well:


Step 3:


Step 4:


Step 4 can be quite tricky as the motorized frame is very heavy. What I did was lay the legs and the motorized frame flat on the floor like sleeping, instead of standing.





With the motorized frame lying down on the floor, it's easier to insert the upper legs into the tubes in the motorized frame.

Step 5:


Yo may stand the whole swing up after inserting the legs to the motorized frame.



         




















































The left and right side of the motorized frame and their upper legs are labeled properly as well.


Step 6:




Step 7:


After fitting the cushion pad, the seat looks like this:


It has a 5-point harness.


The seat also a a crouch rest that prevent new-born from slipping down the seat.
There is a small stain from careless handling. The stain is washable.


Step 8:


Step 9:


Step 10:


Step 11:


Step 12:


Step 13:




Step 14:


Again, I used the ikea stool to help me lay the seat face down.


The lower seat tube and the short tube on the seat back are labeled accordingly as well:


Step 15:




Insert the screw from the left side and tighten it using the Allen key.


Step 16:
Again, lay the swing down when you do step 16 & 17.





Step 17:


Ensure that the seat is facing straight up, and not side ways so that the screw can be inserted easily at the upper seat tube.




Complete!



Press and hold and rotate the seat facing left or right as shown in pictures below.


Now the seat is facing right.
























Here is the menu on the motorized frame that you can select up to 6 swing speeds, 6 different songs and 2 nature sound with adjustable volume, and rotating mobile.


Connect the cable from the upper leg to the AC adapter.


Check out the swing at its highest swinging speed while connected to the AC adapter in the video link below:

At the back of the motorized frame, there is a slot for 4 D batteries.


Alternatively, if you do not want to use the AC adapter, you may also use the 4 D batteries (provided).
Check out the swing at its lowest swinging speed while connected to the batteries in the video link below:
