Rainforest Crib Soother - Installation Question

We just put the Rainforest Crib Soother is DS's crib, but his mattress is still in the highest position and the instructions say there has to be at least 7 inches between Soother and mattress and if there isn't, lower mattress. He isn't ready to lower the mattress yet... The Soother practically touches the mattress. Is this not safe? Should we not use it until he is old enough to lower the mattress?

Thanks!

I didn't use it until I dropped the mattress. I used the mobile when the mattress was in the higher position.

I don't really know whether or not it's safe, I just didn't want to take any chances. I have seen people use it against the mattress though.

Thanks, Charly. I appreciate your response!

Re: Rainforest Crib Soother - Installation Question

Mine is installed already, with the mattress at the highest point.

But it's tall enough that he can't get trapped between them - I did check that first.
