Did anyone have a problem getting this glider through the doorway? We can't seem to fit it through. Any suggestions?

We kind of tilted it sideways and put the "legs" in first then the back. I strongly recommend you get an ottoman with this chair if you are using it in a nursery, because of the low back and narrow with it is not as comfortable nursing purposes as we had hoped. The Ottoman would give you a way to lean back. As are regular chair is fine, comfortable and good looking, as a nursing care, I would rethink.

It was a gift for my granddaughter. She says they took it out of the box had no trouble getting it through the bedroom door.

If you're referring to the armrests/"trays" on the sides of the glider, there is no problem with them when you move the glider back and forth. I'm not quite sure if I understand the question though about how the tray would be in the kid's way---??

I had the same problem and fixed it by bending the door so that it was tight. Did it by hand and now the door is held firm but not to tight. This corrected the issue. BTW, we love the game.

I would strongly suggest the door be a strong door!!! Also try to set it up so you have to pull the door closed behind you. I have old doors.in my house and using this approach has been the most successful for me. Hope this helps.

We had the same problem. It seems you have to press in on the latch, and down on the top in order to get it to open It was impossible for my wife to open it, and I had a hard time. I finally kneeled on the top to put more weight on it, and it opened. We are going to leave it open for now, until we go on our next extended trip. Try the Sentry website; they may have other opening suggestions.

Sorry, my grandson has the bus. It's quite less than a foot long. The door opens but not enough to put any play people inside. He's not really thrilled with it. I'd recommend something bigger with people or one that could accomodate "people". I bought a plastic one, 14 inches long, that is much more play friendly.

Yes, it fit through our doorways just fine. It helps that the feet twist on an off, that makes it easier. The furnature is very light so that's nice too. We love it!

Hi Katie! My husband had the same issue and tried several screwdrivers to screw them in as much as they would go, but he could only get them to screw about half way in. While not ideal, the top part felt very sturdy even with half of the screw in each pole. He covered those screws with the small, circular foam piece for that section and then put the netting over top of that, and it has held up very well to my kids crazy bouncing. I wish the screw holes were a bit bigger so that those screws actually could fit into them. We were afraid to try and drill bigger holes for fear then they would be too wide and the screws would not hold at all. If you do find a good solution, please share!! =)

I haven't had any problems. That's the main reason I bought the stroller because I had read they fit through most doorways and are not as wide. I love this stoller!

I was very surprised that this does fit through a single doorway. The standard 32 inch door width though. I know there are some places that have narrow doors and I've really only run into trouble a couple times. Almost any restaurant, store, or house I've entered with this stroller has fit through the entry.

Audrey, I think your idea of moving the arch up a bit would help. I asked my husband and he said the same thing. Plus, if you leave off the brush, that opens up the door a lot. My 15-pound dog can't fit through it but cats are much better at slinking into tight spaces than dogs. My cat's about 12 pounds and is quite fast at going up and down the stairs through the cathole door. Good luck!!

My daughter is six and still plays in ours, although she's tall for her age and has to duck just slightly to get through the doorway. She can stand up inside though. If you end up buying it, paint it! It was the best decision we made and the kids LOVED it.

It is a great glider,very smooth, nice motion,plenty of forward,backward movement. It is a glider,not a swing. We love it. Even nicer than we expected plus the directions were great and it assembled perfectly. Highly recommend it. We have it on a screened porch. Lee B.

Along with food or some other tempting thing on the other side of the door, we also physically pushed our cats head into the door and literally shoved them through! Seems a little rough, but it eventually worked. One of our cats took to it right away and the other took longer. Keep at it and they'll figure it out. Another thing I've heard people have done is completely remove the door just to get them used to walking through it, then add the door unlocked, then after a while turn on the lock. Good luck!

It will not fit. By the the time you screw in the glider that moves it in and out. It did not work for me.

I have assembled toys, furniture, even an Ikea kitchen but I have never come across any process that has stopped me cold before these Kidkraft legs. I cannot get them on even with all the tips listed here. My question is, why haven't they changed the legs or the screws once they have been made aware there is an issue? Today is Saturday - I will have to wait until Monday to contact them for help.
