Avoiding Suffocation Hazards
• Unlike cribs that have rigid sides, the playard has flexible sides.
As a result, the playard mattress/pad is specially designed to prevent
suffocation. The playard mattress/pad has a solid base, a certain
length and width, and is less than one inch thick in order to meet
safety standards. Using a thicker or a different sized mattress/pad may
allow a child’s head to get between mattress/pad and the side of the
playard causing suffocation.
• Infants can suffocate
• In gaps between a mattress too small or too thick and
products sides
• On soft bedding.
NEVER add a mattress, pillow, comforter or padding. Use ONLY
mattress pad provided by Graco.
! To reduce the risk of SIDS, pediatricians recommend healthy
infants be placed on their backs to sleep, unless otherwise advised
by your physician.
• Never use plastic shipping bags or other plastic film as mattress covers
not sold and intended for that purpose. They can cause suffocation.
• Do not use a water mattress with the playard.
Avoiding Strangulation Hazards
• Strings and cords can cause strangulation. Keep strings and cords
away from child.
• Do not place the playard near a window where cords from
blinds or drapes can strangle a child.
• Do not hang strings on or over the playard.
• Do not place items with a string around a child’s neck, such as hood
strings, pacifier cords, etc.
• Do not attach strings to toys.
