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.
