Babies should only be set down on their backs in the Deluxe+ dock, aside from tummy time.

When lounging on their backs, babies can safely benefit from visual stimulation. When paired with the toy set accessory, the dock also promotes sensory development.

For naps and overnight sleep, place your baby in a crib/cot, bassinet, or play yard.

The deluxe+ dock is not for sleep but babies fall asleep anywhere and should be moved to a safe sleep environment if they fall asleep.

The Deluxe+ dock is an ideal spot to watch your little one spend active time on their tummies.

To practice safe tummy time, you must directly supervise your baby. Place the baby near the head of the dock with their arms over the edge. Never place your baby on their tummy for lounging.

Docks should only be placed on a firm, flat and stable surface from which the baby cannot fall.

The dock is multi-functional and easy to use in many locations. Be sure to use on the floor or on another firm, flat surface that remains stable during use.

Keep blankets and pillows away from the Deluxe+ dock.

Blankets, pillows, and other objects can cover a baby’s face and should be kept out of the Deluxe+ dock. Additionally, docks should be kept out of the crib, bassinet or play yard, which are supposed to be kept bare.

Docks should only be used when fully assembled and zipped up.

Do not remove inner parts and use them alone.  Loose parts can present a hazard. Additionally, only use with DockATot parts and covers.

When a child is otherwise ready to use a toddler or big kid-sized bed, the Grand dock can be used in the toddler bed or big kid-sized bed.

Before using a Grand dock in a toddler or big kid-sized bed, be sure the child can safely climb in and out of the dock and bed on their own, and also be sure to child-proof their room.

It’s important that you keep your baby within view when they are in a Deluxe+ dock.

A baby left alone can begin to crawl or scoot out of the dock unexpectedly. The Deluxe+ dock is not a bassinet, play yard, or crib – it does not have high sides to contain the baby.

Children should not be carried while in the dock.

While docks themselves are portable, they are not designed for carrying children. If you want to transport your child, pick them up from the dock.
