5. Operating Instructions (Conversions)

The Hayes crib is designed for 4-in-1 convertibility, adapting to your child's needs as they grow. Conversion kits (toddler guardrail and full-size bed rails) are sold separately.

5.1 Adjustable Mattress Height

The crib offers 3 adjustable mattress height settings. For infants, use the highest setting. As your child grows and can sit up, lower the mattress. For children who can stand, use the lowest setting to prevent climbing out.

5.2 Toddler Bed Conversion

To convert to a toddler bed, remove the front side rail and replace it with the optional toddler guardrail (sold separately). The mattress support remains at its lowest setting.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and safety of your crib.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or strong detergents, as these can damage the finish.
