Setup and Assembly
Before beginning assembly, ensure all parts are present and undamaged. Refer to the included hardware pack and detailed instructions for specific steps. Assembly typically requires an Allen wrench (often included) and may be easier with two adults.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Attach End Panels: Secure the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided bolts and Allen wrench. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Install Mattress Support: Position the mattress support platform at the desired height. The crib offers four adjustable mattress positions. For newborns, the highest position is recommended for easy access. As your child grows and becomes more mobile, lower the mattress support to prevent climbing out.
- Final Tightening: Double-check all bolts and screws to ensure they are securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
- Insert Mattress: Place the included 1-inch waterproof pad or a compatible mini crib mattress onto the support platform.


Operating Instructions
Adjusting Mattress Height
The DaVinci Kalani Mini Crib features four adjustable mattress positions to accommodate your child's developmental stages. Always select the lowest possible mattress height for your child's age and ability to prevent falls.
- Highest Position: Ideal for newborns and infants who cannot push up on their hands and knees. This position allows for easier access to your baby.
- Mid-High Position: Use when your baby begins to roll over.
- Mid-Low Position: Use when your baby begins to sit up unassisted.
- Lowest Position: Essential for toddlers who can stand. This position provides maximum safety by ensuring the crib rails are high enough to prevent climbing out.
To adjust the mattress height, you will need to partially disassemble the crib to access the mattress support bolts. Follow the assembly instructions in reverse to loosen the necessary bolts, reposition the mattress support, and then re-tighten all connections securely.

4-in-1 Conversion
The Kalani Mini Crib is designed to convert into a mini toddler bed, daybed, and twin-size bed, extending its usability beyond infancy. Conversion kits are sold separately.
- Mini Toddler Bed: Remove the front rail and install the mini toddler bed conversion kit (#M20399) to create a low-height bed suitable for toddlers.
- Daybed: Remove the front rail completely to create an open-front daybed.
- Twin-Size Bed: Utilize the headboard and footboard of the crib with the twin-size bed conversion kit (#M4799) to form a full twin bed frame.




Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your DaVinci Kalani Mini Crib. Regular inspection and cleaning are recommended.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Loose hardware can compromise the crib's stability and safety.
- Wood Care: The crib is made of New Zealand pinewood. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes, which can cause wood to warp or crack.
- Mattress Pad: The included 1-inch waterproof pad should be cleaned according to its specific care instructions.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Crib feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware. | Check and tighten all bolts and screws. Ensure all connections are secure. |
| Difficulty adjusting mattress height. | Bolts are too tight or misaligned. | Loosen bolts slightly, adjust the platform, then re-tighten. Ensure the platform is correctly aligned with the designated holes. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose joints or friction between wood parts. | Tighten all hardware. Apply a small amount of paraffin wax or silicone spray to contact points if squeaking persists. |
