• 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.
• This product is not intended for
