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

Question

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!

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

please dont put your baby in the "ELECTRIC CHAIR"

thats all i have to say about that. :)
