CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION
Once the bed rail has been installed, the anchors should be firmly against the sides of the
mattress with no gaps. To check for tightness of the bed rail, place your hand between the
fabric cover of the bed rail and the mattress. Your hand should fit snugly and you should
feel resistance. If you do not feel resistance, further tighten the safety straps. To do so
pull on the safety straps tightly and tuck remaining strap length under mattress. Do not
use the bed rail unless there is a snug fit between the bedrail and the mattress. If you
experience difficulty, call 1-800-344-BABY for assistance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS
Please complete the following steps after the bed rail has been assembled on bed:
• Make sure that the safety straps are pulled tight enough to create significant
indentations where the anchors meet the mattress.
• Make sure there are no gaps or voids between the side of the mattress and
bed rail frame.
• Make sure that bed rail is snug against the mattress by sliding your hand between the
face of the mattress and the bed rail frame. Resistance should be felt. This should be
done periodically during the use of the bed rail.
• Make sure that excess straps are NOT hanging off the bed or accessible to a child.
If so, tuck straps under the mattress. Check for loose straps often and after each
bed-making.
• Make sure that your child's hands are away from the hinge area before raising
or lowering the bed rail.
