How can I convert a battery operated baby swing into one that can plug into a wall outlet.?


I imagine it will involve some soldering and buying a generic ac or dc adapter, the swing currently uses 4 D size batteries and is truly costing us quite a bit of money as it is the only thing that makes our baby sleep. Please give me some ideas on the best way to go about this, thanks!

you would need a 6 volt dc power converter,there will be two wires on it .the white stripped or grooved wire is - or negitive the other + or positive.

Try the guys at batteries plus they have a web site they are a national chain. What about re-chargables they have those too. buy eight batteries four for the swing ,four on charge, rotate as needed. They might be able to bypass the batt power and direct wire a a/c to d/c adapter.

Your talking some work.
Maybe you could look for a swing that uses a wind up crank.
No power required at all. They make them, I had one for my kids.
Save you the trouble of converting to another power source.
Good luck.

please dont put your baby in the "ELECTRIC CHAIR"
thats all i have to say about that. :)
