5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Mattress Height Adjustment
The mattress support base can be adjusted to three different height positions. The highest position is recommended for newborns to allow easy access to your baby. As your child grows and becomes more mobile (e.g., begins to push up on hands and knees, or can sit unassisted), lower the mattress support to prevent climbing out. Always ensure the mattress is at the lowest position once your child can stand.
5.2. Storage Drawer Usage
The integrated storage drawer underneath the crib provides convenient access to blankets, sheets, or other nursery items. The drawer features two compartments for organization and operates on smooth Euro glides.
