5. Operating Modes (Conversions)

The Fisher-Price Paxton crib is designed to convert into four different bed configurations to grow with your child:

5.1. Crib Mode

This is the initial configuration for infants. Ensure the mattress support is set to the lowest position once your child can sit up unassisted.

5.2. Toddler Bed Mode

When your child is ready to transition from a crib (typically when they can climb out), convert the crib to a toddler bed. This involves removing the front rail and installing a toddler guard rail (sold separately).

5.3. Daybed Mode

The daybed configuration is achieved by removing the front rail entirely, providing an open-front sleeping or lounging space. No guard rail is used in this mode.

5.4. Full-Size Bed Mode

For the final conversion, the crib can be transformed into a full-size bed. This requires a full-size bed frame (sold separately) to attach to the headboard and footboard of the crib.
