5. Operating Instructions: 4-in-1 Conversion
The Graco Solano is designed for long-term use, converting through four stages to accommodate your child's growth.
Conversion Modes:
- Crib Mode: The initial configuration for infants. The mattress support base can be adjusted to three different heights. Always use the lowest setting once your child can sit up unassisted.
- Toddler Bed Mode: Converts from the crib by removing the front rail and adding an optional toddler guardrail (sold separately). This provides a lower sleeping surface with a partial barrier.
- Daybed Mode: Converts from the crib by removing the front rail entirely. This creates an open-front sleeping or lounging space.
- Full-Size Bed Mode: Converts from the crib by using the headboard and optional footboard (conversion kit sold separately) with a standard full-size mattress and bed frame.
Refer to the official PDF manual for specific instructions and required hardware for each conversion stage.
