4. Operating Instructions
4.1. 3-in-1 Functionality
The HARPPA Cuddly Bassinet offers versatile usage modes to adapt to your needs.
- Standalone Bassinet: Use the bassinet independently in any room. Ensure all four wheels are locked for stability.
- Bedside Sleeper: Position the bassinet next to your bed. Lower one side of the bassinet (if applicable) and secure it to your bed frame using the provided anchor straps. This allows for close proximity to your baby while maintaining a separate sleep surface.
- Rocking Bassinet: Engage the rocking function by adjusting the base. This mode provides a gentle motion to soothe your baby. Ensure the rocking mechanism is properly engaged and the wheels are disengaged or folded up if designed for rocking.
4.2. Height Adjustment
The bassinet features 5 adjustable height settings to align with various bed heights. Locate the height adjustment mechanisms on the side supports of the bassinet. Press the release buttons and slide the bassinet up or down to the desired height. Ensure both sides are adjusted to the same level and lock securely into place before use.
4.3. Anti-Spit-Up Incline Function
For infants prone to spitting up, the bassinet can be set at a slight incline of 3-8 degrees. To activate this feature, adjust one side of the bassinet to a slightly higher setting than the other. Ensure the incline is gentle and stable, and always monitor your baby.
4.4. Securing with Anchor Straps
When using the bassinet as a bedside sleeper, always use the provided anchor straps to secure it to your adult bed. This prevents any gaps or movement between the bassinet and your bed, ensuring your baby's safety.
4.5. Mattress and Breathable Mesh
The included mattress is designed for infant comfort and spinal support, featuring hypoallergenic fabric, a water-resistant coating, premium foam, and a medium-density fiberboard base. The bassinet also features breathable mesh on both sides to ensure optimal ventilation and visibility, reducing the risk of overheating.
4.6. Portability and Storage
The bassinet is equipped with locking wheels for easy movement between rooms. For storage or transport, the bassinet can be folded into a compact size.
5. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your HARPPA Cuddly Bassinet.
- Cleaning Fabric Parts: The fabric components of the bassinet should be hand washed only. Use mild soap and cold water. Do not bleach. Air dry thoroughly.
- Cleaning Frame: Wipe the aluminum and wood grain frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately.
- Mattress Care: The mattress features a water-resistant coating. Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and water, and air dry completely.
- Regular Inspections: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure. Inspect the mesh for any tears or damage.
- Storage: When not in use, store the bassinet in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
