Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the Cangaroo Bed Rail:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Assemble Support Legs: Attach the support legs to the main bed rail frame. Ensure they click securely into place.
- Prepare Bed: Lift the mattress from the bed frame or slatted base.
- Position Bed Rail: Place the assembled bed rail on the bed frame or slatted base, ensuring the support legs extend underneath where the mattress will rest. The bed rail should be positioned along the side of the bed where fall protection is needed.
- Lower Mattress: Carefully lower the mattress back onto the bed frame, ensuring it rests firmly on top of the bed rail's support legs. The weight of the mattress will hold the bed rail in place.
- Check Security: Gently push and pull the bed rail to ensure it is stable and does not move excessively. There should be no significant gaps between the bed rail and the mattress.

Operating Instructions
The Cangaroo Bed Rail features a convenient foldable front mechanism for easy access to the bed.
- To Fold Down: Locate the release buttons or levers on both sides of the bed rail, typically near the top corners. Press these buttons simultaneously and gently push the top section of the bed rail downwards. The front panel will pivot and fold flat, allowing for easy entry and exit from the bed, or for making the bed.
- To Raise Up: Grasp the top bar of the bed rail and pull it upwards until it locks securely into the upright position. Ensure both sides are fully locked before leaving your child unattended. You should hear an audible click.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Cangaroo Bed Rail, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed rail feels unstable or wobbly. | Not properly positioned under the mattress; mattress too light; support legs not fully extended. | Ensure the bed rail's support legs are fully under the mattress. Verify the mattress is heavy enough to secure the rail. Re-adjust position. |
| Foldable mechanism is stiff or not locking. | Mechanism dirty or obstructed; not pressing release buttons simultaneously. | Clean the mechanism area. Ensure both release buttons are pressed fully and simultaneously when folding. Apply gentle, even pressure when raising. |
| Gaps between bed rail and mattress/bed frame. | Incorrect bed rail size for bed; improper installation. | Ensure the bed rail is centered and flush against the mattress. If gaps persist, the bed rail may not be compatible with your specific bed type or mattress size. Discontinue use if significant gaps remain. |
