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.
Mattress pad dimension: 27”x 39”
(68.5 cm x 99 cm).
• 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.
• If a sheet is used with the mattress
pad, use only the one provided by
Graco that is specifically designed
to fit the dimensions of the
mattress pad.
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.
