Setup and Assembly Instructions

This guard rail is designed for easy assembly and conversion of your Suite Bebe Brees crib. Two adults are recommended for assembly.

1. Prepare the Crib: Ensure your Suite Bebe Brees crib is empty and the mattress is removed. Carefully remove the front rail of the crib according to your crib's original assembly instructions. Store the removed crib rail and hardware in a safe place for potential future use.
2. Position the Guard Rail: Align the Suite Bebe Brees Guard Rail with the designated attachment points on the crib's side panels where the front rail was previously attached. The guard rail should be positioned to allow an opening for your child to enter and exit the bed.
3. Attach the Guard Rail: Using the provided hardware, securely attach the guard rail to the crib's side panels. Ensure all screws and bolts are tightened firmly with the appropriate tool (not included, typically an Allen wrench or screwdriver). Do not overtighten.
4. Verify Stability: Once attached, gently shake the guard rail to ensure it is stable and securely fastened. There should be no wobbling or loose connections.
5. Replace Mattress: Carefully place the crib mattress back into the converted toddler bed. Ensure the mattress fits snugly against the guard rail and the remaining crib sides, leaving no gaps that could pose an entrapment hazard.

Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the Suite Bebe Brees Guard Rail functions as a stationary safety barrier for your child's toddler bed. No specific operational steps are required beyond ensuring its secure attachment.

• Regular Checks: Periodically check all connections to ensure the guard rail remains securely attached to the crib frame. Tighten any loose hardware immediately.
• Mattress Fit: Always ensure the mattress fits snugly within the bed frame and against the guard rail to prevent any gaps where a child could become entrapped.
• Supervision: While the guard rail provides a safety barrier, adult supervision is always recommended, especially for younger children transitioning to a toddler bed.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your guard rail.

• Cleaning: To clean the guard rail, wipe with a damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or strong detergents, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the guard rail for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Address any issues promptly.
• Storage: If storing the guard rail, ensure it is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and humidity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Suite Bebe Brees Guard Rail, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Guard Rail is Wobbly:

  Ensure all assembly hardware (screws, bolts) are securely tightened. Re-check each connection point. If the issue persists, disassemble and reassemble, ensuring proper alignment of parts.
• Parts are Missing or Damaged:

  Do not attempt to use the guard rail with missing or damaged parts. Contact Suite Bebe customer support for replacement parts. Do not use non-original parts.

• Mattress Does Not Fit Snugly:

  Verify that the guard rail is correctly installed and that you are using the recommended mattress size for the Suite Bebe Brees crib. There should be no gaps larger than 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) between the mattress and the guard rail or bed frame.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact Suite Bebe customer support for further assistance.
