Graco Pack'n'Play Owner's Manual page 3

• Child can become entrapped and die when improvised netting
or covers are placed on top of a playard. Never add such items
to confine child in playard.
• NEVER leave child in product with side lowered. Be sure side is
in raised and locked position whenever child is in product.
• 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.
