Assembly Instructions
Playard Assembly
Before Assembly: Inspect product for damaged hardware, loose joints, missing parts, or sharp edges. Adult assembly is required.
Step 1: Unpack and Prepare
Unzip the carry bag and remove the playard frame. Undo fastening straps and set the mattress aside. Do not push down on the center of the playard floor yet.
Step 2: Erect Top Rails
Pull up each top rail one at a time. Ensure both tubes latch securely into place, making each rail rigid. The center of the playard must be raised while locking the rails. If one rail locks but the other does not, unlock the first rail by squeezing the center release and try again.
Step 3: Lock Center Mechanism
Once all four top rails are locked, push down on the center handle. The center mechanism will rotate 90 degrees clockwise and lock. Test each top rail by pushing down slightly to confirm it is rigid and secure.
Step 4: Place Mattress
Place the mattress on the playard floor with the padded side facing up.
Step 5: Secure Mattress
Insert the Velcro straps from the mattress underside through the floor slots. Fasten the straps to prevent the mattress from moving. Ensure the center handle remains raised while locking side rails.
Step 6: Engage Brakes
To operate the brakes on the wheels, press downward on the brake levers. Lift the lever upward to release.
Folding the Playard
Release the Velcro straps holding the mattress. Do not unlock top rails yet. Rotate the center handle counter-clockwise 90 degrees and raise the center as high as the top rails. Gather legs and wheels towards the center.
Step 8: Unlock Rails for Folding
Locate the rail latch release in the center and bottom of each rail. Squeeze the lever with two hands until the rail releases the tubes, then push down. If rails do not release completely, lift the center of the floor higher.
Step 9: Wrap Mattress
Gather the four corners and center tightly. Wrap the mattress around the playard frame with the padded side inward. Secure straps.
Step 10: Store in Carry Bag
Place the folded playard into the carry bag, ensuring the handle protrudes from the zipper opening.
Bassinet Assembly

Step 11: Position Bassinet
Position the bassinet over and into the assembled playard. Secure by pushing down firmly on each plastic support clip until snapped into place.
Step 12: Insert Support Tubes
Line up the mattress support tubes with the holes in the front frame assembly. Insert the tubes into the loops on the bassinet bottom.
Step 13: Place Bassinet Mattress

To Remove Bassinet:
Remove the mattress. Unsnap all clips and lift the bassinet.
Changing Table Assembly
Note: Playard must be fully assembled before installing the changing table.
Step 14: Assemble Frame
Connect the two long curved bars. Insert them into the changing table fabric and slide them around. Connect the two short bars to each end of the long curved bars, ensuring knobs face down and in the same direction.
Step 15: Attach Changing Table to Playard
Insert connector knob prongs into playard corner holes. Turn knobs counter-clockwise to lock. Flip the changing table onto the playard and snap the buttons on the flap down. Ensure it is securely installed.
Step 16 & 17: Secure and Position Changing Table
Locate Velcro straps on the changing table underside and playard side rails. Flip the changing table into its upper position. Secure it to the playard frame using the Velcro straps.
Changing Table Restraint System
Place child on the table, ensuring hands and arms are clear of the restraint. Bring the restraint around the child's waist and clip the buckle. Tighten snugly but do not overtighten. To remove, unsnap the buckle.
To Remove Changing Table:
Flip the changing table to the outside of the playard. Unsnap the fabric flap. Twist connector knobs clockwise to unlock. Remove the changing table, disconnect bars, and remove the curved bar.
Parent Organizer Assembly
Position hooks on the organizer and press firmly into the slot. Connect the organizer/diaper stacker to the playard by sliding the connecting clips over an open portion of the top rail. Ensure clips attach easily without interference.
Mobile Assembly
The mobile is for visual stimulation only and should not be grasped by the child. Remove when the baby begins to push up. Always attach fasteners tightly.
Step 22: Assemble Lower Mobile Arm
Insert the mobile lower arm into the mobile arm holder until locked.
