Instructions
for use
Check your child regularly when using
The Cot Canopy.
Do NOT use this product in conjunction with:
a crib or cradle, a carry cot, a playpen or any
other nursery product other than a cot or
travel cot.
Do NOT let other children play unattended
near The Cot Canopy.
When using The Cot Canopy, always make
sure that the movable side of the cot is raised.
If the height of the cot base is adjustable,
adjust to the lowest position of the cot base.
Before use, always ensure that the wide elastic
corner band at the foot of each corner of The
Cot Canopy is hooked UNDER the foot of the
cot or travel cot.
It is recommended that at least one outer panel
is left open during use. The darkened mesh will
still provide a good degree of darkness.
The UK Foundation for Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome recommends a room temperature
of 16-20˚C. Adjust the number of open panels
on The Cot Canopy accordingly. Remove
The Cot Canopy if your child appears to be
overheated.
Prolonged and direct exposure to bright sunlight
can overheat The Cot Canopy. Limit its exposure
to direct heat from the sun by, as necessary,
moving the cot out of the sunlight etc.
Check your Cot Canopy regularly for any
damage, particularly the clamp and hanger.
The Cot Canopy is NOT a toy and must not be
used except for its intended purpose of being
fixed to a cot or travel cot.
REMEMBER:
The safety of your child is YOUR responsibility.
THE CARE & MAINTENANCE
OF YOUR COT CANOPY
If any part is damaged do not use but contact
Content&Calm Customer Services
(Tel No: 01823 323363) for advice.
The Cot Canopy can be wiped

Open the carry bag; remove the 3 hanger
sections and the clamp from one inside
pocket of the bag and the canopy from

B
Hold up The Cot Canopy in front of you from
the hanging loop.
C
Locate the clamp pocket and position
The Cot Canopy over the cot or travel cot
with the clamp pocket on rear long side

On each top corner of The Cot Canopy there
is a green wide elastic strap (C1) - use these
as guides to position The Cot Canopy over
the corners of the cot or travel cot and pull

At each corner, hook the bottom elastic band
(D1) under each foot of the cot or travel cot.
E
- Tuck the clamp pocket inside the cot or travel
cot ensuring that the pocket is centered on
the long side.
- Insert the long side of the clamp into the clamp
pocket with the fl at surface facing upwards
and the tightening knob facing outside the cot.
- Tighten the knob to be tight.

- Put the 3 hanger pieces together making sure
that the securing press buttons click and are
engaged.
- Insert the hanger into the clamp, ensuring that
the hook is above the middle of the cot or

- Click the hanger into place into the bottom
of the 3 holes on the clamp.

G
Stand in front of the cot or travel cot opposite
the hanger and pull up the green loop at the
centre of The Cot Canopy (G1) and hook the
green loop over the hook at the end of the
hanger. You should have to use a little effort
to do this and you may need to pull the
hanger towards you.
H
If the corners of The Cot Canopy have been
pulled up with the action of attaching the
loop to the hook, pull the corners of The Cot
Canopy back onto the corners and adjust
the sizing zips to best fit the size of the cot or
travel cot which you are using, ensuring that
excess fabric is secured behind the zips. The
wider the cot or travel cot, the more likely it
will be that the sizing zips need to be opened.
Pull the fabric tight from top corner to foot on
each corner and tuck any excess fabric under
each foot – this helps to keep the top corners
in place.
Adjust the 3 lower over panels and 4 mesh
and outer layer upper doors as required
for the child and to provide the desired
level of darkness. Take care to assess the
temperature of the room, it is recommended
that at least 1 outer opening is kept open,
with just the mesh closed, for optimal viewing
and air circulation. The mesh alone provides
a good level of darkness.
NOTE: The top 4 access openings can be
open, both layers fully closed or vented. The
lower side panels can be vented, covered with
the outer panels or partially covered using the
poppers to secure up the outer panels. The
back panel under the clamp is darkened mesh
only and does not have an outer panel, to
ensure consistent and comfortable ventilation.

Before using The Cot Canopy we suggest
that you practice the set up and pack away
technique. It will take about 3-5 attempts before
you get used to it.
The permanent vents at the top of The Cot
Canopy are made from high tensile spring
plastic and occasionally a twist may occur
if folded incorrectly. They can be adjusted back
into shape by simply tracing the curve of the
vent to the spot that has become twisted.
Using both hands twist the curve so that it
follows a smooth curve and holds the vent
away from the mesh.
