On my unit the Toy Bar pulls off easily, is this supposed to happen? I understand it should rotate, but pull off completely?

Ours came off pretty easy too. And it think the more its taken off and on the looser it gets. My daughter has never been real interested in the toys on it anyways so we eventually just tossed it!

I never put the toy bar on, it has very little use and in the way of moving the baby in and out. The baby never really play with the toy bar, the unit is better with out it.

Mine does the same. I think it's meant to for ease as there may be times you want it off.

Yes, the toy bar should pull off completely. It is designed so it can be removed when not needed.

Oh yes it pulls off easily...grab/lift to move it from the back support area.At least that's what I do :)

Use the safety brackets that come with the bar. I didn't at first, and after some fast pullups, where I was slowly twisting the wrong direction with each pull, it slipped out.

I have bought several of these. I did receive one that was "off". Did you adjust the bar under the table so it went to a lower placement?If it cannot be adjusted under the table, you should return it. My other 3 are perfect!!

Just received mine, and it snapped together and turns easily.Make sure yours is fully snapped down - if the end isn't all the way out, it will create friction rather than allow the rotating section to turn.

Is it on upside down??? I did that the first week and my silly little 5-pounder got out constantly. I turned it over and never had another problem.

Mine came attached to the bars, but the wall mount was separate. Try to attach it so the mirror revolves on its axis.Sorry not to be of more help.

Didn't have that problem, Lilo but might you look at all 4 wheels to make sure that they are installed with the bars on the inside of the wheel and the safety bar is not being engaged when you try to close it. I'll look at mine tomorrow and see if I can give you any other suggestions.

Toy bar is removable but the toys do not come off bar ... which is actually a good thing :)

hold the silver rim (near the top) and turn to the right (clockwise) and lift off. it's kind of counter-intuitive since the tendency is to turn it in the other direction. I had trouble too.

Sorry, wound up having friend set up the wall attachment because the clamp kept slipping and the toggle thingy broke off. I am able to adjust it anyway I prefer now. Don't know if anyone else had a slipping and breaking problem.

Jaye, The bar will come out of the little slot with a bit of pressure, but it shouldn't come out unless you are a little rough with the unit. Even if it does come out, it takes little effort to put it back in.

It comes apart quite easily, so you're probably trying to unscrew it at the wrong place. Move your handsaround til you find the correct location!

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!

No. The unit has been terrific for a few years. Have you tried to remove the bar with the brushes and re-insert it? Maybe the gear that drives it is broken or not far enough in. Have you spoken with Hoover service. They may have a quick and/or simple diagnostic or corrective suggestion. b.cooper

i have the same problem but i notice the more my baby uses it the better it stays open. but its a little tipsy due to mine having a bent bar that came that way.

You twist it counter-clockwise and pull, but as I recall I had to bang it on the floor a few times the first time I extended it. If that doesn't work, I would contact the manufacturer. Good luck.

Ok, so I tried today and like Lara D. said, it does come off. You have to pull REALLY hard, but it does come off and you won't break it. It goes back on easier than it comes off. Thanks to Lara D. for your help and giving me confidence to pull at that darn head really hard!
