1. Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and proper installation, use, and maintenance of your Fisher-Price 19-inch Toddler Guardrail. This guardrail is designed to facilitate the transition of your Fisher-Price convertible crib into a toddler bed, providing a secure barrier for your child.

2. Safety Information

• Adult Assembly Required: This product must be assembled by an adult.
• Supervision: Always supervise your child. The guardrail is a safety aid, not a substitute for adult supervision.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose hardware can pose a hazard.
• Damage: Do not use the guardrail if any parts are missing, damaged, or broken. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
• Compatibility: Ensure the guardrail is compatible with your specific Fisher-Price convertible crib model. Refer to your crib's original instruction manual for conversion details.

3. Package Contents

• 1 x Hardware Pack (includes screws, bolts, and washers necessary for attachment)

If any parts are missing or damaged, please do not proceed with assembly. Contact Fisher-Price customer service for assistance.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install the toddler guardrail:

1. Prepare the Crib: Refer to your Fisher-Price convertible crib's original instruction manual for specific steps on how to remove the front rail and prepare the crib for toddler bed conversion. Ensure the crib is stable and all remaining components are securely fastened.
2. Position the Guardrail: Align the Fisher-Price Toddler Guardrail with the designated attachment points on your convertible crib. The guardrail typically replaces a portion of the removed front rail.
3. Attach the Guardrail: Using the hardware provided in the package, securely attach the guardrail to the crib frame. Ensure all screws and bolts are tightened firmly, but do not overtighten, as this may damage the wood.
4. Final Check: Once installed, gently push and pull on the guardrail to confirm it is stable and does not wobble. Re-tighten any loose connections.

5. Operating Instructions

The Fisher-Price Toddler Guardrail provides a partial barrier to help prevent your child from accidentally rolling out of bed during sleep. It is designed to offer a sense of security and aid in the transition from a crib to a larger bed. Ensure the guardrail is always properly installed and secured before placing your child in the bed.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the guardrail clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Sunlight Exposure: Keep the guardrail out of direct sunlight to prevent fading or damage to the wood finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all hardware connections for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.

7. Troubleshooting

• Guardrail is Loose: Ensure all attachment screws and bolts are fully tightened. If the issue persists, check for any damaged parts.
• Missing Hardware: If your package was missing any hardware components, contact Fisher-Price customer service immediately for replacements. Do not attempt to use substitute parts.
• Guardrail Does Not Fit: Confirm that your crib is a Fisher-Price convertible model and not the Shannon model. If it is a compatible model, double-check the installation steps in both this manual and your crib's original manual.
