Playard Assembly
Step 1: Prepare the Playard Frame
- Unzip the storage bag and remove the playard frame.
- Undo the fasten straps and set the mattress aside.
- DO NOT push the center down yet.
Step 2: Erect the Top Rails
- Top rails must be fully erected before lowering the center.
- Pull up one rail at a time, holding one hand on each side of the rail, and pull up sharply. Do not pull from the middle where the center latch release is located.
- Ensure both tubes latch in place and each rail is rigid.
- IMPORTANT: The handle located in the center of the playard floor MUST remain raised (approximately 45.7 cm or 18 inches) while locking the side rails in place. If the center is not raised, the rails will NOT lock.
- If you experience difficulty and one side of the rail locks but the other does not, unlock the rail by squeezing the release in the center and try again.
Step 3: Lock the Center Mechanism
- Once all four (4) top rails are locked in place, push down on the center handle.
- The center mechanism will automatically lock in place.
- IMPORTANT: Test each top rail by pushing down slightly to confirm each is rigid and securely in place before use.
Step 4: Place the Mattress
- Place the mattress on the floor of the playard with the padded side facing up.
Step 5: Secure the Mattress
- Insert Velcro® straps located on the underside of the mattress through the slots in the floor of each end of the playard.
- Fasten the hook and loop straps to the underside of the playard floor to prevent the mattress from moving.
Step 6: Operate the Wheels/Brakes
- To operate the brakes on the wheels, press downward on the brake levers.
- To release, lift upward on the lever.
Folding the Playard
Step 7: Prepare for Folding
- Release the Velcro® straps holding the mattress from underneath the playard floor or the bassinet and set the mattress aside.
- Do not unlock top rails yet; the center of the floor must be raised before top rails will unlock.
- Rotate the center handle counter-clockwise 90 degrees and raise the center as high as the top rails.
- Gather the legs and wheels together towards the center as close as possible so that they nearly touch.
Step 8: Release Top Rails
- Locate the rail latch release in the center and bottom side of each rail.
- Squeeze the lever with two hands until the rail releases the two tubes, then push down.
- NOTE: If the top rail(s) do not release completely, DO NOT FORCE! Lift the center of the floor higher. Both tubes must be released for the top rail to fold.
Step 9: Gather and Wrap
- Gather four (4) corners and center all together tightly.
- Wrap the mattress around the playard frame with the padded side facing inward.
Step 10: Secure for Storage
- Secure the hooks and loop straps by feeding them through the loops on the end of the mattress and folding them back onto themselves.
- Place the folded playard into the carry bag so that the handle comes through the opening between each side of the zipper.
Bassinet Assembly
ATTENTION: The playard must be fully assembled and securely locked before installing or using the bassinet feature. You will need to remove the mattress from the bottom of the playard to use inside your bassinet.
Step 11: Position the Bassinet
- Position the bassinet over and down into the fully assembled playard.
- Secure in place by pushing down firmly on each plastic support clip until all are snapped into place.
Step 12: Attach Mattress Support Tubes
- These tubes must be lined up with the holes in the front frame assembly.
- Insert both assembled Mattress Support Tubes into the loops provided on the bottom of the bassinet.
Step 13: Place and Secure Mattress in Bassinet
- Place the mattress into the bassinet with the padded side facing upward.
- Fasten tabs underneath the mattress to secure it in place.
To Remove Bassinet: Remove mattress, remove canopy, unsnap all clips, and lift the bassinet.
Diaper Stacker Assembly

- NOTE: Diaper stacker can only be installed on open sides of the playard where the connecting clips can easily be attached without interfering with other features.
Mobile Assembly
ATTENTION: A crib mobile is intended for visual stimulation and not to be grasped by the child. If attached to the crib or playard, remove when baby begins to push up on hands and knees. If designed for wall/ceiling mounting, place out of reach. Always attach all provided fasteners tightly. DO NOT add additional strings/straps. DO NOT attach the mobile with a child in the playard or bassinet.
