1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the parts list are present and undamaged.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adjustable Mattress Heights

The DaVinci Kalani crib features four adjustable mattress height positions to ensure safety and convenience as your child grows. Adjust the mattress support to the appropriate level based on your child's developmental stage:

• Highest Position: For newborns and infants who cannot push up on their hands and knees. This allows easier access to your baby.
• Mid-High Position: When your baby begins to roll over.
• Mid-Low Position: When your baby can sit up unassisted.
• Lowest Position: When your child can pull themselves to a standing position. This prevents them from climbing out of the crib.

Always ensure the mattress support is securely fastened at the desired height before placing your child in the crib.
