• NEVER leave child in product

whenever child is in product.
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).
• 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 pad,
use only the one provided by
Graco for Quick Connect
Playards that is specifically
designed to fit the dimensions
of the mattress pad.

cords away from child.
