OWNERS MANUAL

Models 1512 and 1522

Cradle Swing

Using the Cradle

Unlike cribs that have rigid sides, the cradle has flexible sides. As a result, the cradle mattress is specially designed to prevent suffocation. The cradle mattress has a solid base, a certain length and width, and is less than one inch thick in order to meet safety standards. Using a thicker or a different sized mattress may allow a childs head to get between the mattress and the side of the cradle causing suffocation.

To help prevent suffocation from entrapment, USE ONLY THE MATTRESS PROVIDED BY GRACO. Never use additional mattress or padding.

Discontinue using your cradle if child weighs over 13 pounds (5.9 kg), can roll over, or can push up on hands and knees.

Using the Carrier

Infants can tip or slide carrier by their movements or by pushing off other objects with their feet. If the carrier tips over, child can suffocate. If the carrier is too upright, infant's head may drop forward and cause breathing problems.

DO NOT place carrier near the edge of surfaces such as tables or counters. To prevent falls, stay within arm's reach whenever carrier is not on floor/ground.

Always place carrier on a firm and level surface. Never place carrier on soft or plush surfaces that may allow carrier and infant to roll over.

Avoid serious injury from falling or sliding out. Always properly secure the seat belt when child is in the infant carrier.

Do not use infant carrier if child weighs over 25 pounds (11.3 kg) or becomes too active to swing properly in the carrier.

Do not use infant carrier in a shopping cart.

Do not attempt to adjust handle while infant carrier is on swing.

Failure to follow these warnings and the assembly instructions could

result in serious injury or death from falls, suffocation or other hazards.

This product includes an infant carrier and cradle

which may be portable or attached to the swing.

Other Important Safety Information

Never use the carrier

They offer no protection to your child in a crash.

Do not use the carrier or cradle for long-term sleeping purposes, like a crib. Never leave child unattended when using the cradle or carrier.

To reduce the risk of strangulation, do not place cradle or infant carrier in any location where there are cords, such as window blind cords, drapes, phone cords, etc.

Strings can cause strangulation. Do not place items with a string around your childs neck, such as hood strings or pacifier cords. Do not suspend strings over cradle or infant carrier or attach strings to toys.
