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 an extra mattress and side of product
•On soft bedding.
NEVER add a mattress, pillow, comforter or padding. Use ONLY mattress pad provided by Graco.
•NEVER LEAVE INFANT IN PRODUCT WITH SIDES DOWN. Infant may roll into space between pad and loose mesh side causing suffocation.
•Never use plastic shipping bags or other plastic film as mattress covers not sold and intended for that purpose. They can cause suffocation.
•Do not use a water mattress with the playard.
Avoiding Strangulation Hazards
•Strings and cords can cause strangulation. Keep strings and cords away from child.
•Do not place the playard near a window where cords from blinds or drapes can strangle a child.
•Do not hang strings on or over the playard.
•Do not place items with a string around a child’s neck, such as hood strings, pacifier cords, etc.
•Do not attach strings to toys.
