The buttons are hard to push in.” A. a) b) c) Locate the “dimple” on the end of the right and left elongated spring directly behind the “press to release” words on the nylon sleeve that cover the tube steel locking bar. (See A) Gently push in on each spring as you lift and lower the locking mechanism with a short up and down motion. (see B) By doing this, the locking buttons will “find” their way into the alignment holes and the upper bar will be unlocked and fold downward. (See C) Make sure that both bars (right and left) are unlocked. If one side is longer than the other, then you have not unlocked both bars and the unit will not fold up properly. Q. “I am having trouble getting the lower bar to unlock. One of the two bars unlock when I lifted up on the locked bars but the second one seems to be stuck.” A. a) b) c) d) e) Make sure all of the upper bars are completely unlocked and folded downward. Unlock all of the lower locking bars by lifting up on them. Get at least one of the two bars to unlock on each of the four sides. Gather the Co-Sleeper Bassinet together as seen in the drawing and lay it on its side on the floor. Gently push downward on the Co-Sleeper Bassinet until you feel the second bar unlock from its locked position. Repeat this motion on the remaining sides until you are able to fold the unit together so that the upper four plastic corners are touching each other to form a neat square. Q. “I can’t get the plastic hangers off the Co-Sleeper Bassinet’s top bar. They are very tight and I can’t pull them off.” A. Try rotating them off of the upper bar. Instead of trying to pull the hanger straight up, hold on to the bottom (opposite the hooked end) and slide the hanger along the mash side of the Co-Sleeper Bassinet in a circular motion. It will peel off the upper rail with little effort. If you have any questions or need further assistance please call (800) 954-9353.
