WARNING

Failure to follow these warnings and the 

instructions could result in serious injury or 

death.

The product, including side rails, must be 

fully erected prior to use.

Infants can suffocate on soft bedding. Never 

add a pillow, comforter or padding.

To reduce the risk of SIDS, pediatricians 

recommend healthy infants be placed on 

their backs to sleep, unless otherwise 

advised by your physician. 

Strings can cause strangulation! Do not 

place items with a string around a child’s 

neck, such as strings or pacifier cords. Do 

not suspend strings over a crib or attach 

strings to toys.

To help prevent strangulation tighten all 

fasteners. A child can trap parts of the body 

or clothing on loose fasteners.

DO NOT place a crib near a window where 

cords from blinds or drapes may strangle a 

child.

When a child is able to pull to a standing 

position, set the mattress to the lowest 

position and remove bumper pads, large 

toys and other objects that could serve as 

steps for climbing out.

For cribs with drop sides, after raising side, 

make sure latches are secure.

For cribs with drop sides, DO NOT leave 

child in crib with side lowered. Be sure side 

is in raised and locked position whenever 

child is in crib.

When a child is able to climb out, reaches 

the height of 35 inches (890 mm), the child 

should be placed in a youth or regular bed, 

and the crib shall no longer be used.

Check this product for damaged hardware, 

loose joints, missing parts or sharp edges 

before and after assembly and frequently 

during use. DO NOT use crib if any parts 

are missing, damages or broken. Contact 

DaVinci for replacement parts and instruc-

tional literature if needed. DO NOT substi-

tute parts.

NEVER use a water mattress with this 

product.

For cribs equipped with teething rails, 

replace teething rail if damaged, cracked or 

loose.

If refinishing, use a non-toxic finish specified 

for children’s products.

Never use plastic shipping bags or other 

plastic films as mattress covers not sold and 

intended for purpose. They can cause 

suffocation.

Infants can suffocate in gaps between crib 

sides when used with a mattress that is too 

small.

Check fasteners periodically for tightness. 

Do not overtighten. This may cause distor-

tion or breakage.

Use a crib, not as a play pen. Remember 

that a crib is not a substitute for parent’s 

supervision.
