Does anyone know how well the rocker works on this? It seems like the plastic bar is not curved enough, which means not enough of rocking. Any idea?

We purchased the trike for the handle vs free riding option. We never used it as a rocker so I really can't say.

There is a company that makes a dual rocker. The name of the product is Pro Stretch. You would be inquiring about the Dual Pro Stretch!

I bought the one for the cheaper one and it works great. I honestly think it comes down to toys and sounds. My son was just fine with his rocker with only a couple toys, he never knew the difference.

Not sure what the issue is. I know we had to follow the path exactly that ours came out of. There were two specific points that had to be connected right for it to work. One was on the spring end and the little s shaped metal piece had to slide in correctly and the other was a clip on the back. Perhaps it is too long? I am not sure what else the issue could be. You might google/you tube to try to make sure it is connected right. Best of Luck

The rack stil wobbles. I use the screw in hitch pin as well as the lottery pin and it moves. There is play between the hitch and the receiver so it slides in. No way around it. The screw doesn't alleviate the rocking. That being said I've had no issues with the rocking. Yet. Some day I suspect the metal could break from wear and fatigue.

we have ours on our screen porch. I'd say it should probably be in a covered location. I'm not sure where you live, but we saw the rocker at a Kroger just the other day for $89.00. Not sure what they are going for on Amazon these days. Ours has stood up well. Again, directions are terrible and the shipping wasn't up to Amazon standards, but the rocker is well built and worth the money. I may invest in a pad for the thing one of these days. Good luck

Absolutely, all you have to do is open the folding rocker, slide two locking plastic pieces (one on each side) then enjoy. I used mine both indoors and out and have had it for months now w/o any issues.

Gina, I haven't had to replace any parts yet for my Grandson's rocker, but if I do I'll contact the Kidkraft.com company for them. I hope you find what parts you need.

Hi there! I absolutely adore this glider. No, it doesn't actually rock like the conventional rocker. It glides in concert with the ottoman. It is most wonderful and mom and my new grandson love it and so do I!!! Even dad enjoys gliding with his new son. I highly recommend it!!

My recliner actually was in a constant tilted position. When I would rock, I literally felt like I was falling completely backwards. So in my opinion, yes it reclines way too much. We trashed it after just two months.

All you have to do is turn the base over. With the picture shown, it is set up for the rocker. Turn the base over and you have a stable base with a horse that will simply bounce up and down. There are no springs. It uses rubber bands for both setups.

Appreciate the problem. The first one we assembled was a bear to set up;the second was easy as we learned onthe first.Great chairs otherwise. If you type in Char-log rocker the company of manufacture will appear and they have a contact us link on their adv. I suspect since their instructions have had a number of complaints, they may have designed an improved set or maybe even video. JLL

On mine you have to actually kind of take it apart. The cross member that you can see in the pictures has little tabs that you press to pull off the rocking legs, and also the bars for the sleeper part. Not the easiest method if you have to do it daily, but also not the hardest thing in the world.

There is a pull and twist pin that will either keep the rocking movement locked, or allow for continuous rocking. The pin handle is a little difficult to engage/disengage.

Hi Adam S. Were you able to make the wood top work? I would like to try it and would love any tips. We have small children so glass isn't safe. Thanks!

That's a good question... I don't think it's meant to, actually. Because the bar swivels... So you'd have to deal with the whole roll moving from side to side when you try to get some. So I'd probably advise against getting it for that. . . . . . Unless you somehow weld it or something to keep it from swiveling!

You have to "slide" it in from the side, I think. Worth a try. Or maybe have one person hold one side down while another person pushes the axle down with foot (while wearing a shoe!) Try both suggestions. It's been a while since I put ours together. We have so many of these kids things, it hard to remember how they were all put together. I totally understand your frustration!
