Guide to using the different cot-bed positions.
Position Maxi Cot - When you first assemble the cot you have two choices of
mattress height, upper position designed for new born and lower position for
toddler onwards ( fr

in the assembly instructions )
WARNING: TO PREVENT FALLS, THE MATTRESS BASE OF THIS COT
SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO THE LOWEST POSITION BEFORE THE
CHILD CAN SIT UP.
Position Toddler bed - To allow your child to get in or out of the cot by
themselves you can simply remove one of the side panels. This is usually
when the child starts to try and get out of the cot by themselves and helps to
avoid injuries from falling. To use the cot in this position you must always
keep one of the side panels in place. Please refer to instructions to see
conversion.
Position First bed- When the baby has developed further, you may convert
the cot to create a 'first-bed' suitable up until the age of 5 years. This can be
extended further with the use of the 'Gaia Baby Junior Bed

Safety notice
• Make sure that medicines, strings, small toys, small objects such as coins,
etc. are out of the baby's reach from any position in the bed.
• Never place the child's bed by an open fire or source of strong heat such as
electric heaters, gas heaters, power points etc. due to the risk of fire.
• Do not use the child's bed if any parts are damaged or missing and only use
replacement parts that are approved by Gaia.
• Never leave anything in the child's bed and never place the child's bed close
to something the child can stand on, or which may pose a risk of suffocation
or strangulation, such as light fittings, electrical equipment, strings on blinds/
curtains, etc.
• Never place more than one mattress in the child's cot/bed. It is recommended
that you use the original Gaia mattress, as it is designed to perfectly fit the cot
in all positions. Please consult our customer services team or local
store/expert for additional guidance.
