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.
