Assembly Instructions

Assembling the Playard

  1. Unzip the travel bag and remove the playard frame. Undo the two (2) fastening straps and set the mattress aside. Do not push the center down yet.
  2. Ensure all four (4) top rails are fully erected. Pull up one rail at a time, holding both sides of the rail, and pull sharply upwards. Do not pull from the center where the latch release is located. Ensure both tubes latch securely and each rail is rigid. The center handle must remain raised (approx. 45.7 cm or 18 inches) while locking the side rails. If the center is not raised, the rails will not lock. If one side locks but the other does not, unlock the rail by squeezing the center release and try again.
  3. Once all four top rails are locked in place, push down on the center handle. The center mechanism will rotate 90 degrees clockwise and automatically lock. Test each top rail by pushing down slightly to confirm it is rigid and secure.
  4. Place the mattress on the playard floor with the padded side facing up.
  5. Insert the Velcro® straps located on the underside of the mattress through the slots in the floor at each end of the playard. Fasten the straps to the underside of the playard floor to prevent the mattress from moving.

Folding the Playard

  1. Release the two (2) Velcro® straps holding the mattress from underneath the playard floor or bassinet and set the mattress aside.
  2. Do not unlock top rails yet; the center of the floor must be raised before the top rails will unlock.
  3. 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 closely as possible so they nearly touch.
  4. 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.
  5. Gather the four (4) corners and center them tightly. Wrap the mattress around the playard frame with the padded side facing inward. Secure the two (2) hook and loop straps by feeding them through the loops on the end of the mattress and folding them back onto themselves.
  6. Secure the two (2) hook and loop straps by feeding them through the loops on the end of the mattress and folding them back onto themselves.
