Operating Instructions

Adjusting Mattress Height:

The DaVinci Birdie crib features four adjustable mattress height positions to ensure safety and convenience as your child grows.

• Highest Position: For newborns and infants who cannot push up on their hands and knees. This position allows for easier access to your baby.
• Mid-High Position: Use when your baby begins to push up on hands and knees.
• Mid-Low Position: Use when your baby begins to sit up unassisted.
• Lowest Position: Use when your baby begins to stand. This is the safest position to prevent your child from climbing out of the crib.

Always ensure the mattress support is securely locked into place after adjustment. Refer to your assembly manual for specific instructions on how to safely adjust the mattress height.

• Do not use pillows, quilts, comforters, or soft bedding in the crib with infants.
• Ensure all hardware is tightened regularly and check for any loose parts.
• Do not use the crib if any parts are missing, damaged, or broken.

Maintenance

To maintain the quality and appearance of your DaVinci Birdie crib, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe the crib surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
