5. Operating Your INFANS Travel Crib
5.1 Bassinet Mode (0-6 months or up to 20 lbs)
The elevated bassinet position is suitable for newborns, making it easier to access your baby. Always ensure the bassinet is securely installed and the mattress is properly fastened. Do not use this mode once your child shows signs of pushing up on hands and knees.
5.2 Playpen Mode (6-36 months or up to 33 lbs)
Once your child outgrows the bassinet, remove the bassinet mattress and place the main mattress at the bottom of the crib to convert it into a playpen. This provides a secure and spacious area for your toddler to play and rest.

5.3 Side Zipper Door Function
The INFANS travel crib features a convenient side zipper door. This allows older toddlers to crawl in and out independently under supervision, or for parents to easily place or retrieve their child without excessive bending.
- To open, locate the zipper on the side panel and pull it down.
- To close, pull the zipper up until it is fully secured.
- Always ensure the zipper door is fully closed and secured when the child is unsupervised in the playpen.
