Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking and Initial Inspection

Remove all contents from the box. Inspect all parts for damage or missing components. Do not use if any parts are damaged or missing. Keep packaging materials away from children.

2. Assembling the Playard Frame

1. Stand the playard upright. Pull the two short side rails upward until they lock into place. Listen for an audible click.

Operating Your BabySuite Deluxe

1. Using the Full-Size Bassinet

The bassinet provides a comfortable, elevated sleeping and resting area for newborns. Always ensure the bassinet is securely attached and the mattress pad is flat. Discontinue use when the infant reaches 15 lbs (6.8 kg) or shows signs of pushing up.

2. Using the Rotating Changer

The changer can be rotated into position for diaper changes and then swiveled out of the way when not in use, maximizing space within the playard. Always keep one hand on your child while using the changer. Discontinue use when the infant reaches 15 lbs (6.8 kg).

3. Using the Playard

Once your child outgrows the bassinet, remove it to use the full depth of the playard for safe play and sleep. The playard is suitable for children up to 35 inches (89 cm) tall or 30 lbs (13.6 kg), or until they are able to climb out.

4. Using the Playtime Playmat

The padded floor mat can be removed and used independently as a playtime playmat for tummy time or other activities. It provides a clean and comfortable surface for your baby.

• Frame and Plastic Parts: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Mattress Pad: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry thoroughly before re-inserting into the playard.

Troubleshooting Guide

Difficulty Folding/Unfolding

• Issue: Side rails do not lock into place during setup.
• Solution: Ensure the center hub of the playard floor is NOT pushed down. The side rails must be locked BEFORE the center is lowered. Pull each rail firmly until it clicks.
• Issue: Playard will not fold down.
• Solution: Ensure the center hub of the playard floor is pulled UP as far as it can go. Then, unlock each side rail by squeezing the release buttons. Refer to the folding instructions printed on the mattress pad.

Changer Stability Issues

• Issue: The rotating changer feels unstable or sags.
• Solution: Verify that all attachment clips are fully engaged with the playard rails. Ensure the changer's support bars are correctly assembled and locked.

Bassinet Mattress Comfort

• Note: The bassinet mattress pad is designed to fold for portability. This may result in a slightly less rigid surface compared to a standard crib mattress.
• Warning: Do NOT add any additional padding, mattresses, pillows, or blankets to the bassinet. This creates a suffocation hazard.
