Important Safety Information
Your child's safety is paramount. Adhere to the following guidelines:

- Proper Support: The 1.25-inch thickness provides a firm yet comfortable surface, crucial for proper body alignment and support for infants and toddlers.
- Supervision: Never leave a child unattended in a playard.
- No Additional Padding: Do not add extra padding, pillows, or blankets under or over the mattress pad, as this can create unsafe sleeping conditions.

Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your Hiccapop Playard Mattress Pad:

Operating Instructions
The Hiccapop Playard Mattress Pad is ready for use once properly installed in your playard. It is suitable for both sleep and supervised playtime. Always ensure the mattress pad remains securely positioned within the playard, with no gaps around the edges. Regularly check the fit to ensure continued safety.
Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your mattress pad and maintains hygiene:
- Cover Cleaning: The ultra-soft Jacquard cover is removable and machine-washable. To clean, unzip and remove the cover from the foam core. Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.
- Foam Core Cleaning: The foam core is not washable. If it becomes soiled, spot clean gently with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Ensure the foam core is completely dry before replacing the cover and using the mattress pad.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the mattress pad and cover for any signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. Discontinue use if any damage is found.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Hiccapop Playard Mattress Pad, refer to the following common solutions:
- Mattress Pad Does Not Fit Snugly:
Solution: Ensure your playard measures 38" x 26". This mattress pad is specifically designed for these dimensions. Check that the rounded corners are properly aligned within the playard frame to eliminate gaps. - Mattress Pad Feels Too Firm or Too Soft:
Solution: The 1.25-inch thickness is engineered to provide a safe and supportive surface for infants and toddlers, adhering to safety regulations. This specific firmness is intentional for developmental support and safety. - Cover Difficult to Remove or Replace:
Solution: Ensure the zipper is fully opened. Gently work the cover off and on the foam core, taking care not to force it. - Unusual Odor:
Solution: Upon initial unpacking, a slight odor may be present due to the fresh foam. This is normal and harmless. Allow the mattress pad to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours before use.
