Baby products designed for activities like nursing, playing, or lounging should always be used with adult supervision and only when your baby is awake. These products should never be used for infant sleep or placed inside a crib, play yard, or other safe sleep space.

Creating the safest environment for your little one makes all the difference. 💙
