Operating Instructions

1. Height Adjustment

The crib features 5-way adjustable height settings, ranging from 45 cm to 60 cm. To adjust the height, locate the adjustment buttons or levers on each side of the crib frame. Simultaneously press and hold them while raising or lowering the crib to the desired position. Ensure both sides are adjusted to the same height and lock securely into place before use.

2. Tilt Function

The crib can be tilted by up to 30 degrees. This feature is designed to assist with a baby's digestion, improve breathing, and help manage reflux. To activate the tilt, adjust one side of the crib to a higher setting than the other. Ensure the tilt is gentle and secure. Always monitor your baby when using the tilt function.

3. Rocking Function

To engage the rocking function, ensure the crib's feet are set to the rocking position. This typically involves rotating the feet or unlocking a mechanism that allows the base to rock gently. The rocking motion can help soothe your baby to sleep.

Position the crib next to your parent's bed, ensuring there are no gaps. Use the provided attachment straps to securely fasten the crib to your bed frame. The crib is compatible with various types and models of parent beds.
