Operating the Convertible Crib

The Union Crib is designed for long-term use, adapting to your child's developmental stages. Its primary function is as a safe sleeping space, with adjustable mattress heights to ensure safety as your baby grows.

Mattress Height Adjustment

The crib features four adjustable mattress heights. The highest position is suitable for newborns, allowing easy access to your baby. As your child grows and becomes more mobile (e.g., begins to push up on hands and knees, or sit unassisted), the mattress support should be lowered to prevent climbing out. Always ensure the mattress is at the lowest position before your child can stand.

Conversion Options

This crib offers four conversion stages:

1. Crib: Standard configuration for infants.
2. Toddler Bed: Converts by removing the front rail and adding a toddler rail (sold separately, Model No. M3899). This allows your child to get in and out independently while providing a safety barrier.
3. Daybed: Converts by removing the front rail entirely, creating an open-front seating or sleeping area.
4. Full-Size Bed: Converts into a full-size bed frame using a full-size conversion kit (sold separately, Model No. M4799 and bunkie board No. M26058B).

Maintenance and Care

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your DaVinci Union Convertible Crib and ensure its continued safety.

• Cleaning: Wipe the crib surfaces with a dry cloth or a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the finish and potentially harm your child.
• Inspections: Regularly check all screws, bolts, and hardware to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose hardware can compromise the crib's stability and safety.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all parts and hardware together in a safe place. Store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent warping or damage.
• Repairs: Do not attempt to repair damaged parts. Contact DaVinci customer support for replacement parts or professional repair advice.

Troubleshooting

While the DaVinci Union Convertible Crib is designed for durability and ease of use, occasional issues may arise. Here are some common concerns and general advice:

• Squeaking or Wobbling: This often indicates loose hardware. Re-tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the crib is on a level surface.
• Difficulty Adjusting Mattress Height: Check for any obstructions or misaligned parts. Ensure the mattress support is properly seated in all four corners.
• Missing Parts: If you discover missing parts during assembly, do not proceed. Contact DaVinci customer support immediately for assistance.
