FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILD, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE PLAYARD, BASSINET AND CHANGING AREA
TO ASSEMBLE PLAYARD
Before you begin: The Baby Trend Playard is designed so that, when
properly setup, the fabric of the playard places pressure on the 4 top rails
making them nearly impossible to unlock. This safety feature is activated
when you push down on the playard oor to lock the bottom rails. When
setting up the playard, if you allow the bottom rails to lock before locking
the top rails, the fabric pressure will not allow you to lock the top rails.
Please see (Fig. 3.) for the proper position of the bottom of the playard
when locking the top rails.
1. Unzip bag and remove Playard frame (Fig. 1). Undo the 3 Velcro
straps and set mattress aside (Fig. 2).
2. Stand Playard on legs keeping feet of playard close together as shown
in gure 3. Pull up on top rails until all rails “click” and “lock”.
* READ IMPORTANT: In order to continue, the handle in the
center of the oor of the Playard MUST remain raised in order
for the rail to lock (approx. 45.7 cm or 18 inches). The feet of the
playard should almost touch each other. All 4 bottom rails must
be pointed upward in order to LOCK top rails.
3. Push down on center of Playard oor until it is at and locks into
position (Fig. 4). The center lock mechanism will lock automatically.
The center lock will rotate clockwise about 90 degrees as it locks.
NOTE: Test rails to make sure they are locked. Push down on each
rail making sure they are rigid and in a set position.

bassinet instructions.
5. Feed the 6 Velcro straps (found underneath the mattress), 3 on each
end of the mattress pad, through the slots on the bottom of the sides
of the Playard. Fasten the Velcro tabs to the underside of Playard to
