Safety Information
WARNING: NEVER LEAVE CHILD UNATTENDED ON CHANGING PAD.
Serious injury or death can occur from falls. Always keep your child within arm's reach. The safety strap is not a substitute for adult supervision.
- Always secure the child with the quick-release safety belt when using the changing pad.
- Ensure the changing pad is placed on a stable, flat, and secure surface, such as a changing table or dresser.
- Utilize the additional security strap on the underside of the pad to attach it firmly to the changing table, preventing movement.
- The contoured sides are designed to help keep the baby in position, but constant supervision is required.
- Do not use this product if it is damaged or broken.
Package Contents
Your Ingenuity Contoured Changing Pad package includes:
- 1 x Contoured Changing Pad
- 1 x Waterproof Changing Liner (if included with your model)
- 1 x Quick-Release Safety Fastening Strap (pre-attached)
- 1 x Underside Security Strap (pre-attached)
Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Changing Pad: Carefully remove the changing pad from its packaging. The pad may be compressed and will expand to its full size (approximately 16 x 32 inches) within a few seconds.
- Prepare the Surface: Place the changing pad on a sturdy, flat, and secure surface, such as a dedicated changing table or a dresser. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
- Secure to Changing Table (Optional but Recommended): Locate the security strap on the underside of the changing pad. Thread this strap through the designated openings on your changing table or dresser, and fasten it securely. This prevents the pad from sliding during use.
- Inspect Safety Strap: Ensure the quick-release safety fastening strap, located on the top surface of the pad, is free from twists and is easily accessible.

Operating Instructions
- Prepare for Change: Gather all necessary changing supplies (diapers, wipes, cream, etc.) and place them within easy reach, but out of the baby's grasp.
- Place Baby on Pad: Gently place your baby on the center of the contoured changing pad.
- Secure Baby: Bring the quick-release safety fastening strap around your baby's midsection. Insert the buckle ends together until you hear a click, ensuring it is snug but not too tight. The strap should hold the baby securely without causing discomfort.
- Perform Diaper Change: With one hand always on your baby, proceed with the diaper change.
- Release Baby: Once the change is complete, press the center button on the quick-release buckle to unfasten the safety strap. Gently lift your baby from the pad.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your changing pad.
- Cleaning the Pad: The durable, quilted double-layer PEVA vinyl surface is waterproof and can be easily wiped clean. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before next use.
- Cleaning the Liner: If your model includes a waterproof changing liner, it is machine washable. Follow the care instructions on the liner's label for best results. Typically, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low.
- Storage: Store the changing pad in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
