Absolutely! Here's a simple guide to assembling your Joie Excursion travel cot, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for your little one:
- Start with the Short Rails: Lift the shorter rails until they click and lock into a rigid position. If they don't lock the first time, try again, ensuring they are fully extended.
- Addressing Latching Issues: If the short rails still don't latch correctly, slightly lift the cot's base, then try lifting the rails again. This often helps them lock securely.
- Secure the Long Rails: Once the short rails are locked, secure the longer rails on each side, making sure they are firmly in place.
- Lower the Base: After all rails are locked, push the cot's base downwards, ensuring it sits flat.
- Assemble Support Tubes: If your model includes support tubes, put them in place as indicated in the manual.
- Mattress Placement: Place the mattress inside the cot with the soft side facing up for your baby's comfort.
- Secure the Mattress: Use the strap provided. Thread the strap through the buttonhole, wrap it around the tube, and fasten the snaps at each corner of the mattress.
- Final Check: Gently press down on all four corners of the mattress to confirm it's securely attached to the cot's base. This ensures your child's safety.
Following these steps will ensure your Joie Excursion travel cot is set up correctly and ready for use. Always double-check that all rails are locked before placing your child in the cot.
