==High Chair== | |||
# Some poskim permit detaching and reattaching a hair chair tray since that is part of the normal use of the high chair.<ref>Rav Elyashiv (Ashrei Haish 2:18:20)</ref> However, other poskim hold that it is forbidden if the tray fits tightly into place and is only permitted if it is loose.<ref>Rav Shlomo Zalman (Shulchan Shlomo 313:7 fnt. 16). Orchot Shabbat 8:55 explains that seemingly this dispute of whether it is permitted to put together a tray with a chair hair depends on a dispute between Shulchan Aruch Harav and Chazon Ish if it is permitted to put together a kli that is normally disassembled and reassembled. Additionally, there's a reason to be lenient even for Chazon Ish who is strict in the above question because the nature of this kli is that the way to use it is by detaching it and reattaching it. </ref> | |||

#There is a dispute amongst the Poskim whether or not one may wind up a baby swing on [[Shabbos]].

While R' Moshe Feinstein ZT"L<ref>Sefer Tiltulei [[Shabbos]] 1: footnote 36 </ref> prohibits it on the account that it is similar to winding a watch that has stopped (which is prohibited), there are many others who are lenient, as unlike a watch, when a swing is not in motion it is not considered "broken", so winding it up is not considered "fixing" it.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 17:39</ref> See [[Electricity_on_Shabbat#Watches]] and [[Makeh Bpatish]] and for more details. | ||
==Holding a Baby== | |||
# It is forbidden to pick up a baby or child who is holding money. <ref> Hazon Ovadia, Page 170. The reason given is that the money might fall and one will pick it up accidentally. </ref> However, it is permitted to shake the child's hand in order to make the muktzeh fall so that carrying will become permissible. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 309:1. Shaking the child's hand out of fear for losing money in the child's hand is still prohibited. </ref> | |||
