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.
• NEVER use a water mattress
with the playard.
Avoiding Strangulation
Hazards
• Strings and cords can cause
strangulation. Keep strings and
cords away from child.
• NEVER place the playard near
a window where cords from
blinds or drapes can strangle
a child.
• NEVER hang strings on or
over the playard.
• NEVER place items with a
string around a child’s neck,
such as hood strings, pacifier
cords, etc.
• NEVER attach strings to toys.
