• If refinishing, use a nontoxic
finish specified for children's
products.
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.
