Instructions for  baby and toddler
canvas swing
Hanging
instructions
baby and toddler swing can be mounted in
doorways or/and on beams, ceiling joists, verandas,
pergolas and swing stands or the like. Screw
2 screw-eyes approx. 500mm apart. To have the
screw-eyes wider apart than the swing itself
makes it swing straight. Make
sure the holes in the eyes are facing forward
so the carbine hook rolls in the eye instead
of grinding. Adjust the height with the sliding
ropelocks. The
baby and toddler swing can be hung, with
the rope provided, (with the swing down at the
lowest for a toddler) at a height of up to 2.3
meters. For any higher extension
ropes will be needed.
Always use the safety belt.
Check the ropes, hooks and eyes regularly for
wear and tear. The sun breaks down the rope
fiber in time.
A safety surface under the swing is recommended.
6
months to 6 years
baby and toddler swing is suitable for a baby from
when it's neck is strong enough, approximately
6 months. Always support your baby well with
cushions etc. until your baby grows into the
swing. Please remember a young baby should always
be swung gently. Always use the safety belt.
Converting
instruction
When
your child is about the age of 2 1/2 the
baby and toddler swing can be converted to a toddler
version by untying the ropes below the bars
at the front of the swing. While untied, slide
legdivider off the front bar and tie it back
with the safety belt. Tuck excess belt in under
the seat. Reknot the ropes. This enables your
child to get in unaided by sliding the front
bar up, sitting in and sliding the bar down
again.
baby and toddler swing can now be used as long as
your child fits in, approximately 6 years depending
on the size of the child (inside measurement
260x260x260).
In our experience families with more then one
child the older children seem to be happy to
hop into the baby version from behind holding
the ropes (if it is hanging low enough), especially
if they have used it as a baby. In that way
it can be kept as a baby version until the youngest
one is a toddler.

Putting on and taking off the baby swing sun roof and positioning the roof when putting in and taking baby out.
1.
Insert two wooden doweling
pins through the ropes
that run down to the front
bar of the swing 320mm
below the knot. (These
are stoppers to insure
that the roof does not
slide down in front of
and frighten your baby.)
2.
Insert two wooden doweling
pins through the ropes that
run down to the back bar
of the swing 520mm below
the knot. (These are stoppers
to insure that the roof
does not come down too low
at the back knocking your
baby's head.)
3.
Place the sunroof between
the side ropes, standing
up with one side resting
on the sidebars of the swing.
4.
Place the front ropes so
they run through the wooden
v in the corners of the
roof created by the frame.
The roof needs to be above
the wooden doweling pins.
5.
Stretch the elastic loop
over the two arms of the
v so it locks the rope in.
(Knob to the side.)
6.
Place the back ropes in
the v at the back corners
of the roof, with the roof
above the wooden doweling
pins, and loop the elastics
on.
Now,
when the ropes are held
in the v in the four corners
of the roof with the elastics,
you can slide the back and
front of the roof up and
down. To make it easier
to put your baby in and
out you can slide the back
of the roof down and the
front up.

Hanging instructions
for child
swing , with and without trapeze bar, and board
swing
swings can be mounted in doorways or/and on
beams, ceiling joists, verandas, pergolas and
swing stands or the like. Screw 2 screw eyes
or eyebolts approx. 500mm apart with the holes
in the eyes facing forward. It is important
to have the eyes facing forward because then
the carbine hook will roll and not grind in
the eye. Having the ropes going wider apart
as they go up helps the swing to swing strait.
Adjust the height with the sliding ropelocks.
The
swings can be hung from a height of 3 meters
without extension
ropes.
Check
the ropes, hooks and eyes regularly for wear
and tear. The sun gradually breaks down the
fiber in all rope. A safety surface under the swing
is recommended.
Instruction for extension
ropes
The ropes provided for
baby and toddler swing can reach 2.3m and
child swings 3m. If you want to hang them higher
you will need extension ropes. Instructions
as follows.
Length
of rope; Measure from the point were the swing
is going to hang from down to a height you can
walk under and you still can reach, add 0.5m
for knots and multiply with 2.
Once you have the extra rope, divide it into
two. Burn the ends if it is a synthetic rope.
Knot a loop at the ends. See fig.1.
Knot the rope around the neck of the screw eye
or bolt. See fig 2. (Do not knot just in the
eye as shown in fig .3 since the rope then will
grind in the eye and wear out quicker.) Adjust
the height with the top knot.
If it is
more convenient for you to buy extension rope
from us please contact
us.
