• NEVER leave child in product
with side unlocked.
Be sure all
sides and legs are in a fully
locked position 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
mattress pad, use only the one
provided by Graco that is
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.
