Mattress Base Levels:

The cot bed features three adjustable mattress base levels to provide effortless access to your child at every stage of their growth, while ensuring their safety. The levels are approximately:

• Level 1: 22.9 cm (9 in)
• Level 2: 35.7 cm (14 in)
• Level 3: 48.5 cm (19 in)

Adjust the mattress height as your child grows to prevent them from climbing out of the cot.

Operating Instructions

Cot Bed Use (Birth to 2 Years):

For infants from birth up to approximately 2 years, use the cot bed configuration. Ensure the mattress is placed on the appropriate base level for your child's age and developmental stage. For newborns, the highest setting is typically used for easier access. As your child grows and becomes more mobile, lower the mattress base to prevent them from climbing out.

Junior Bed Conversion (2 to 6 Years):

The Rio Cot Bed converts into a junior bed, suitable for children from approximately 2 to 6 years. To convert, carefully remove the side rails according to the assembly instructions. This transformation allows your child to transition from a cot to a more open bed, fostering independence while maintaining a familiar sleeping environment.

Cot Top Changer Use:

The cot top changer securely attaches to the top of the cot bed, providing a comfortable and elevated surface for changing your baby. It is suitable from birth up to 10kg (approximately 1 year). Always ensure the changer is securely fastened and never leave your child unattended on the changer.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Wipe down the cot bed and changer surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Ensure all surfaces are thoroughly dried after cleaning.
• The mattress cover (if applicable and removable) is washable. Refer to the care label on the mattress cover for specific washing instructions.

Safety Checks:

• Regularly inspect all screws and fittings to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
• Check for any signs of wear or damage to the wood, especially the protective teething rails.
• Ensure the cot top changer is always securely attached before use.
• Do not use the cot if any parts are broken, torn, or missing.

Troubleshooting

Cot Bed Wobbles:

• Ensure all bolts and screws are securely tightened.
• Verify that the cot is assembled on a flat, even surface.
• Check that all components are correctly aligned according to the assembly instructions.

Parts Not Fitting:

• Double-check the assembly instructions to ensure you are using the correct parts for each step.
• Ensure parts are oriented correctly (e.g., not upside down or backward).
• If a part appears damaged or defective, do not force it. Contact customer support.

Difficulty Adjusting Mattress Height:

• Ensure the mattress base is lifted evenly on both sides when adjusting.
• Check for any obstructions or misaligned pins/hooks that secure the base.
