OWNER'S MANUAL

Read all instructions BEFORE assembly and USE of product.

KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.

Failure to follow these warnings and the

instructions could

result in serious injury or death.

Setting Up the Playard

• THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES ADULT ASSEMBLY.

• Keep fingers clear of top corners during setup. Be sure playard
is completely set up before use. Check that the four top rails are
completely latched, the center of the floor is pushed down, the
mattress/pad is flat, the straps are securely fastened to the bottom of
the unit and the four corners are tucked under the stiffeners. Always
follow the instructions in the owner’s manual to set up the playard.

Using the Playard

• The playard is for playing or sleeping. When used for playing, never
leave child unattended and always keep child in view. When used for
sleeping, you must still provide the supervision necessary for the
continued safety of your child.

• Always keep the playard away from hazards in the area that may
injure your child.

• When child is able to pull to standing position, remove large toys
and other objects that could serve as steps for climbing out.

• Stop using this product when your child reaches 35 inches (89 cm) in
height, weighs more than 30 pounds (14 kg), or is able to climb out.

• Do not modify playard or add any attachments that are not
listed in the owner’s manual, including an add-on bassinet.

• Child can become entrapped and die when improvised netting or
covers are placed on top of a playard. Never add such items to
confine child in playard.

• NEVER leave child in product with side lowered. Be sure side is in
raised and locked position whenever child is in product.

• If refinishing, use a nontoxic finish specified for children’s products.

Avoiding Suffocation Hazards

• Unlike cribs that have rigid sides, the playard has flexible sides.
As a result, the playard mattress/pad is specially designed to prevent
suffocation. The playard mattress/pad 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/pad may
allow a child’s head to get between mattress/pad and the side of the
playard causing suffocation.

• Infants can suffocate

• In gaps between a mattress too small or too thick and
products sides

• On soft bedding.

NEVER add a mattress, pillow, comforter or padding. Use ONLY
mattress pad provided by Graco.

• To reduce the risk of SIDS, pediatricians recommend healthy
infants be placed on their backs to sleep, unless otherwise advised
by your physician.

• Never use plastic shipping bags or other plastic film as mattress covers
not sold and intended for that purpose. They can cause suffocation.

• NEVER use a water mattress with the playard.

Avoiding Strangulation Hazards

• Strings and cords can cause strangulation. Keep strings and cords
away from child.

• NEVER place the playard near a window where cords from

blinds or drapes can strangle a child.

• NEVER hang strings on or over the playard.

• NEVER place items with a string around a child’s neck, such as hood

strings, pacifier cords, etc.

• NEVER attach strings to toys.

This product is not intended for commercial use.
