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 childs 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.
