Graco Pack n Play Close2Baby Manual PDF

Here’s how to put together a Graco Pack ‘n Play:
General Steps (might differ slightly depending on model):
Unfold and Lock: Unfold the playard completely and ensure all legs are extended. Locate the center of the playard floor and firmly push down until you hear a click, signifying that the playard is locked securely in place.
Top Rails: Straighten all four top rails until they latch into place and feel rigid. If a top rail doesn’t latch, try lifting the center of the floor slightly higher and try again.

Detach Bassinet: Follow your Graco Pack ‘n Play manual for bassinet removal instructions specific to your model.
Unlock Rails: Locate and press the release buttons on the top rails to push them inwards.
Center Release: Find the central release mechanism (lever or button) and activate it as per your manual’s instructions.
Fold and Secure: Once unlocked, fold the playard in half. Secure it with straps if your model has them.

Yes, following safe sleep guidelines is key:
Use a firm, fitted mattress pad only (no loose bedding).
Respect weight/height limits in the manual.
Newborns can use the bassinet (if applicable) initially.
Transition to the playard floor for sleep once they outgrow the bassinet.
Note: Health Canada advises against overnight sleep in Pack ‘n Plays.
Always consult your pediatrician for the latest safe sleep recommendations.

Locking a Graco Pack ‘n Play involves two steps:
Lock Top Rails: Find the buttons on the top rails (usually near corners), press them, and push the rails inward until they click.
Center Lock (Optional): If your model has one, locate and activate the center release mechanism (check manual for details) after locking the top rails.
Tip: Refer to your manual or ensure the center floor is fully down if a top rail isn’t locking.

No, you shouldn’t put a regular crib mattress in a Graco Pack ‘n Play. Here’s why:
Safety Hazard: A regular crib mattress can be too thick for a Pack ‘n Play, creating a suffocation risk for your baby. The space between the mattress and the top of the playard becomes too small, potentially blocking your baby’s airway.
Not Designed for It: Pack ‘n Plays come with a thinner mattress pad specifically designed to fit snugly within the playard for safe sleep.

Here’s how to fold up a Graco Pack ‘n Play in short:
Remove loose items: Take out any toys, blankets, or your baby before folding.
Unlock top rails: Locate the buttons on the top rails (usually near corners) and press them. Push the rails inwards until they click.
Center release mechanism: Find the lever or button for the center release mechanism (usually on the bottom floor – consult your manual if unsure). Activate it as per your manual’s instructions.
Fold and secure: Once unlocked, gently fold the playard in half. Some models might have straps or clips to secure the folded playard for storage or transport.

It’s recommended to keep your baby’s bassinet close to your bed for the first few months, but not directly attached. Here’s a breakdown of ideal placement:
Safe Distance: Aim for a distance of at least one foot between the bassinet and your bed. This helps prevent accidental suffocation from blankets or pillows falling from your bed onto the baby.
Arm’s Reach Convenience: While maintaining a safe distance, position the bassinet close enough for you to easily reach and comfort your baby at night.
