5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Bassinet Mode (for Infants 0-6 months or up to 15 lbs)

The elevated bassinet provides a comfortable and accessible sleeping area for newborns and young infants. Ensure the bassinet insert is securely zipped to the frame. This mode is ideal for co-sleeping next to an adult bed or for keeping your infant at a convenient height.

5.2 Playard Mode (for Toddlers up to 30 lbs)

For older infants and toddlers who can sit up or pull themselves up, remove the bassinet insert by unzipping it from the frame. The mattress should then be placed directly on the lower base of the playard. This creates a secure and spacious area for play or rest.

5.3 Side Zipper Access

The playard features a convenient side zippered door. This allows older toddlers to crawl in and out independently, promoting their autonomy while still providing a contained play space. Ensure the zipper is fully closed when the child is inside and unsupervised.
