How to Close a Cosco Juvenile Playpen

A Cosco Juvenile Play Yard or playpen is a handy accessory for parents or caregivers. It provides a safe place for the baby or toddler to play while the caregiver is busy preparing dinner or other activities. Closing one of these playpens is necessary if you want to use it while traveling or to transport it to a grandparent's house for the weekend or other short term visit. It is not difficult to collapse the playpen, but it is important to do it in the correct order to ensure success.

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the child and all blankets and toys from the playpen.

    • 2

      Release the hook and loop tabs on the floorboard and lift it out of the Cosco Juvenile Play Yard. Set the floorboard aside.

    • 3

      Pull the center lock of the playpen up to release it. The center lock is located in the middle of the area that the floorboard rests on.

    • 4

      Release the side rail locks one at a time. Squeeze the buttons at the same time as you are pushing down on the rails. This allows them to collapse so that you can fold up the playpen and transport it in the carrying bag.

    • 5

      Wrap your arms around the playpen and push it together to close it to a compact space for storage.
