The BabyDan Park-a-Kid is a six-sided playpen designed for your child's safety. It has smooth, rounded corners and a washable padded mattress. The playpen is assembled at home; no tools are required.

Separate the playpen into two sections of three gate walls each. Lift the removable bar upward and slide it to the right, to remove it from the lower hinge on the gate wall. Work with one section at a time.

Lift the middle gate wall upward -- while pushing the adjacent gate walls downward -- to loosen the connection; The gate walls can now be adjusted. Do this to both sections.
