Before putting your infant into the unit, check the following to make sure the unit is in the proper cosleeper position:

  • Double check the three nylon straps that go around the lowering bar by making sure the male plastic piece is buckled.
  • Helpful Hint: All the top bars need to be locked before locking any of the bottom support bars. If you have locked the bottom bars first, the locking mechanism in the unit will not allow you to continue locking all the top bars.
