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.
• Do not use a water mattress with the playard.
Avoiding Strangulation Hazards
• Strings and cords can cause strangulation. Keep strings and cords
away from child.
• Do not place the playard near a window where cords from
blinds or drapes can strangle a child.
• Do not hang strings on or over the playard.
• Do not place items with a string around a child’s neck, such as hood
strings, pacifier cords, etc.
• Do not attach strings to toys.
