Step 3: Install Mattress Support Base

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
Wipe the crib frame with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that could damage the wood finish.
The outer cover of the mini crib mattress is water-resistant and can be wiped clean. Refer to the mattress care label for specific cleaning instructions.
Inspection
Regularly check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Periodically inspect the crib for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts.
Troubleshooting
Crib feels wobbly after assembly
Ensure all screws and fasteners are fully tightened. Do not overtighten, but ensure a snug fit. Disassemble and reassemble if necessary, carefully following each step.
Mattress does not fit snugly
The included mattress is designed to fit this mini crib. Ensure the mattress support base is correctly installed and that no foreign objects are preventing the mattress from sitting flush. If using a different mattress, ensure it meets the dimensions specified for mini cribs and fits without gaps.
Difficulty adjusting mattress height
