Frequently Asked Questions - Alma Papa Bloom

What age is recommended for the Alma Papa crib?

The Alma Papa crib is recommended for children from birth to 4 years old. It can be used as a cradle, then as a baby crib, and finally converted into a junior bed with an optional panel.

How to adjust the mattress support height?

The mattress support can be set at two heights. To adjust, remove the 6 pegs (4 side and 2 end) by unscrewing the screws, then reposition them at the desired height and rescrew. The high position is for infants up to about 6 months; the low position is safer once the child can sit up.

How to fold the crib for storage?

First remove the mattress, then the mattress support by pushing the locks inward. Then fold the long sides of the crib by pushing inward. Do not force; check that the folding is done correctly. The crib folds uniquely without losing small parts.

What mattress dimensions should I use?

The mattress must be at least 120 cm long, 60 cm wide, and its thickness must not exceed 10 cm. The gap between the mattress and the crib must not exceed 3 cm. A too small or too thick mattress poses risks of suffocation or fall.

Are the casters mandatory?

No, the 4 casters with brakes are included but their use is optional. If you install them, you must engage the brakes when the crib is in use. The brakes are applied by pushing the levers down.

How to clean the Alma Papa crib?

Use a non-toxic and non-abrasive product mixed with water. Apply with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture and do not expose the crib to direct sunlight to preserve the wood.

Can the crib be converted into a junior bed?

Yes, a special junior bed panel is available as an option. Contact your retailer or visit bloombaby.com for more details. Simply remove the side panels to convert the crib.

Where to find spare parts?

If you need spare parts or assistance, contact Bloom after-sales service by email at [e-mail]. Use only parts approved by the manufacturer.

What to do if the crib is damaged or missing parts?

Do not use the crib if it is broken, damaged, or incomplete. Contact Bloom at [e-mail] to get the appropriate spare parts. Do not attempt to repair yourself with non-supplied parts.

What are the main safety precautions?

Place the mattress support in the low position as soon as the child can sit up. Do not leave any objects or toys that could serve as a step. Avoid cords, blinds, and heat sources. Use a mattress of the recommended dimensions. Always supervise the child, especially when awake.
