1. Lowering the Side: Unzip the fabric on one side of the bassinet and release the securing clips or buttons to lower the mesh side.
2. Positioning: Push the bassinet flush against the adult bed mattress. Ensure there are no gaps between the bassinet and the adult bed.
3. Securing with Straps: Use the provided safety straps to securely attach the bassinet frame to the adult bed frame. Follow the instructions on the straps for proper attachment.

4.3 Adjusting Height and Angle

The bassinet offers 5 height adjustments and an optional tilt mode.

• Height Adjustment: Locate the height adjustment mechanisms on the side legs. Press the buttons or levers and slide the bassinet frame up or down to one of the 5 desired height positions. Ensure both sides are adjusted to the same height.
• Tilt Mode (Anti-Reflux): To activate the tilt mode, adjust one side of the bassinet frame to a slightly higher position than the other. This creates a gentle 3°-8° incline, which can help prevent baby reflux. Ensure the incline is gentle and safe for the infant.
