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

finish specified for children’s

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.
Mattress dimension: 27”x 36”
(68.5 cm x 91.4 cm). DO NOT
use a mattress pad from a
different Quick Connect™
model with this Newborn2Toddler.
• 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.
• If a sheet is used with the
mattress pad, use only the one
provided by Graco for Quick
Connect™ Playards or one
specifically designed to fit the
dimensions of the mattress
pad.
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.
