  • Do not use the crib if any parts are missing, damaged, or broken. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts.
  • Do not place the crib near windows where cords from blinds or drapes could strangle a child.
  • Do not place items with a string or cord around a child's neck, such as hood strings or pacifier cords.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Mattress Height Adjustment

The DaVinci Autumn Crib features four adjustable mattress positions to accommodate your child's developmental stages. Adjust the mattress support to the appropriate height as your baby grows:

  • Highest Position: For newborns, allowing easy access to your baby.
  • Second Position: When your baby begins to roll over.
  • Third Position: When your baby can sit up unassisted.
  • Lowest Position: When your baby can stand. This prevents climbing out of the crib.
