munchkin Sleep Safety Bed Rail Owner’s Manual
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
- Gaps in and around bed rails have entrapped young children and killed infants.
- NEVER use with children younger than 2 years old. Use ONLY with older children who can get in and out of adult bed without help. NEVER use in place of crib.
- NEVER use unless bed rail is tight against mattress, without gaps, and at least 9 in. from headboard and footboard. Do not fill gaps with pillows, blankets, or other items that can suffocate children.
- NEVER use on a toddler bed, bunk bed, water bed, or bed with inflatable mattress. Use ONLY on adult bed.
- Discontinue use if damaged, broken, or if parts are missing.
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.
