Product Overview

The IKEA Myllra Baby Crib with Drawer is designed to provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for your child, adapting to their growth stages. This crib features an adjustable mattress base with three different height settings to protect your back as your child grows. It also includes a spacious, smoothly operating drawer for convenient storage of bedding, toys, or other essentials.

Setup

Assembly of the IKEA Myllra Baby Crib is required. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly manual that came with your product. Ensure all components are present and undamaged before beginning assembly.

Important Assembly Tips:

• Lay out all parts on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
• Identify all hardware components (screws, dowels, etc.) and match them to the assembly steps.
• Do not overtighten screws, as this can damage the engineered wood.
• Ensure all connections are secure before placing the mattress or child in the crib.
• Keep small parts away from children during assembly.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting Mattress Base Height:

The Myllra crib features an adjustable mattress base with three height settings. This allows you to lower the mattress as your child grows and becomes more mobile, ensuring their safety and making it easier for you to lift them in and out.

1. Highest Position: Ideal for newborns and infants who are not yet able to sit up or push themselves up on their hands and knees. This position minimizes bending for parents.

2. Middle Position: Use this position when your child begins to sit up independently. This prevents them from climbing out of the crib.

3. Lowest Position: This is the safest position for active toddlers who can stand or pull themselves up. It provides maximum depth to prevent climbing out.

Refer to your assembly manual for specific instructions on how to adjust the mattress base height safely.

Converting to Toddler Bed:

When your child is old enough to climb in and out of the crib independently, typically around 18-24 months, you can convert the Myllra crib into a toddler bed by removing one side. A safety barrier is included to ensure continued safety during this transition.

• Ensure the mattress base is in the lowest position before converting.
• Carefully remove the designated side panel as per the assembly instructions.
• Install the provided safety barrier to prevent accidental falls.

Using the Storage Drawer:

The spacious drawer located at the base of the crib provides convenient storage. It operates smoothly and closes softly and silently, preventing pinched fingers and disturbing your child's sleep.

• Inspections: Regularly check all screws and fittings to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
