Quick guide from the manual
This document provides essential instructions for the safe assembly, operation, and maintenance of the Bright Starts Flamingo Vibes Vibrating Bouncer. Always read the full manual before use. The product is designed for infants and requires adult assembly. Stop using the bouncer when the baby starts trying to sit up or reaches 20 lb (9 kg), whichever comes first.
Safety Warnings
- Fall Hazard: Never leave the child unattended. Use only on the floor. Never use on elevated surfaces. Never lift or carry the baby in the bouncer. Never lift the bouncer using the toy bar as a handle.
- Suffocation Hazard: Never use on soft surfaces like beds, sofas, or cushions. This product is not for sleep. If the baby falls asleep, move them to a firm, flat surface like a crib or bassinet.
- General: Always use the restraint system and adjust it to fit snugly. Never attach extra strings or straps.
Assembly
The bouncer requires adult assembly. Follow the numbered steps in the manual to connect the base frame tubes, backrest tubes, and footrest wire. Ensure all parts are securely clicked into place. Attach the seat pad using the buckles and hook-and-loop patches. Finally, snap the toy bar into the designated slots on the frame.
Battery Installation
The vibration unit requires (1) size C/LR14 (1.5V) alkaline battery (not included). Use a small Phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartment. Ensure correct polarity as marked inside the compartment. Replace the entire set of batteries at once and do not mix old and new or different types of batteries.
Operation
To use the vibration function, locate the switch on the vibration unit. Slide the switch to the ON position to soothe the baby, and to the OFF position when not in use.
Care and Cleaning
- Seat pad: Remove from the frame. Fasten all buckles and hook-and-loop patches before washing. Machine wash with cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.
- Toy bar and toys: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry. Do not immerse in water.
- Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, clean cloth and mild soap.
Storage and Travel
