2. Important Safety Information
WARNING: To prevent suffocation, ensure the mattress pad fits snugly in the playard with no gaps between the mattress and the sides of the playard. Always use a mattress pad that is specifically designed for your playard's dimensions.
On August 15, 2022, the U.S. Government implemented Federal Regulation F2933-21, which banned all playard mattresses exceeding 1.5 inches in thickness. The hiccapop Pack and Play Mattress Pad is designed to comply with this regulation, ensuring a safe sleeping and playing environment for infants.
- Always place the infant on their back to sleep.
- Do not add extra padding, pillows, or blankets to the playard.
- Ensure the playard is fully assembled and locked according to its manufacturer's instructions before placing the mattress pad inside.
- Regularly inspect the mattress pad for any signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use if damage is found.

4. Setup and Installation
- Unpack the Mattress Pad: Carefully remove the mattress pad from its packaging and carry bag. Allow it to expand fully if it was compressed for shipping.
- Prepare the Playard: Ensure your playard is clean, fully assembled, and securely locked according to its manufacturer's instructions.
- Insert the Mattress Pad: Place the hiccapop mattress pad into the base of the playard. Ensure the rounded corners align with the playard's corners.
- Check for Snug Fit: Verify that the mattress pad fits snugly against all sides of the playard. There should be no gaps larger than two fingers between the mattress and the playard walls. This is crucial for safety.
