2. Important Safety Information

Please read and understand all instructions before assembly and use of the BabyBond Y06 Bassinet. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

• Age and Weight Limits: This bassinet is intended for infants from birth up to 6 months, or until the infant begins to push up on hands and knees, whichever comes first. The higher access mode is suitable for infants 6-12 months.
• Assembly: Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and securely fastened before each use. Do not use the bassinet if any parts are missing, damaged, or broken.
• Sleeping Environment: Always place your baby on their back to sleep. Use only the mattress provided by the manufacturer. Never add extra pillows, blankets, or padding under or over the infant, as this can cause suffocation.
• Placement: Always place the bassinet on a firm, flat, and level surface. Keep the bassinet away from cords, blinds, drapes, heaters, and other potential hazards.
• Bedside Sleeper Mode: When used as a bedside sleeper, ensure the bassinet is securely attached to the adult bed using the provided fixing straps. The bassinet mattress must be level with the adult mattress.
• Supervision: Never leave your child unattended in the bassinet.
• Wheels: Always lock the wheels when the bassinet is stationary or when the baby is inside.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. 3-in-1 Modes

• Standalone Crib (0-6 months): Use the bassinet independently in any room. Ensure wheels are locked when stationary.
• Bedside Sleeper (0-6 months): Position the bassinet next to your adult bed. Lower one side of the bassinet (if applicable, refer to specific mechanism) and use the provided fixing straps to securely attach the bassinet to your bed frame. Ensure there is no gap between the bassinet and the adult mattress.
• Higher Access Mode (6-12 months): For older infants who are not yet able to climb out, the bassinet can be adjusted to a higher position for easier access, such as for diaper changes or comforting. Always ensure the baby is within the recommended age/weight limits and cannot climb out.

5.2. Height Adjustment

The bassinet offers 6 height adjustment levels to match various adult bed heights, typically ranging from 23 to 28 inches. To adjust the height:

1. Locate the height adjustment buttons or levers on each side of the bassinet frame.
2. Simultaneously press the buttons/levers and raise or lower the bassinet to the desired height.
3. Release the buttons/levers and ensure both sides are locked into the same height setting.

5.3. Angle Adjustment (Anti-Reflux)

The bassinet can be tilted at a 3-7° angle to assist with infant reflux. To adjust the angle:

1. Adjust one side of the bassinet to a higher setting than the other, creating a gentle incline.
2. Ensure the incline is within the recommended 3-7° range and that the baby's head is elevated.

5.4. Using Wheels and Bedside Attachment

• Moving the Bassinet: Unlock the wheels by pressing the brake levers. Carefully push the bassinet to its new location.
• Securing the Bassinet: Once in position, press down on the brake levers of all four wheels to lock them, preventing unintended movement.
• Bedside Fixing Straps: For bedside sleeper mode, thread the provided straps under your adult mattress and through the designated loops on the bassinet frame. Tighten the straps to pull the bassinet firmly against your bed, eliminating any gaps.

6. Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your BabyBond Bassinet.

• Fabric Cover: The entire fabric cover of the bassinet is removable and machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Do not bleach. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

• Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly.

• Storage: When not in use, store the bassinet in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BabyBond Bassinet, refer to the following common solutions:

• Bassinet feels unstable: Ensure all frame connections are fully engaged and locked. Check that the wheels are securely attached and locked when stationary. Verify the V-structure base is properly extended.
• Height adjustment not working: Ensure both adjustment buttons/levers are pressed simultaneously and released only when the desired height is reached and locked into place. Check for any obstructions.
• Difficulty attaching to adult bed: Ensure the bedside fixing straps are correctly threaded and tightened. There should be no gap between the bassinet and the adult mattress.
• Wheels not rolling smoothly: Check for any debris (lint, hair) caught in the wheel mechanisms. Clean as necessary. Ensure the wheel locks are disengaged.
• Fabric cover difficult to remove/attach: Ensure all zippers, snaps, or buckles are fully unfastened before removal and properly aligned before re-fastening.

If the issue persists, please contact BabyBond customer support for further assistance.
