4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

This kit is designed for easy conversion of your compatible DaVinci crib. Ensure you have the correct conversion kit for your specific crib model (e.g., Colby F11951/F11901).

1. Prepare the Crib: Carefully remove one of the long side rails from your DaVinci crib. Retain the hardware (screws, bolts) from the removed rail, as these may be needed for the conversion kit.
2. Position the Conversion Rail: Align the DaVinci Toddler Bed Conversion Rail (M11999) with the attachment points where the crib's side rail was removed. The slatted section of the conversion rail typically faces outwards, providing a partial barrier for the child.
3. Secure the Rail: Use the provided hardware from the conversion kit to attach the new toddler bed rail to the crib's headboard and footboard. If the provided screws do not fit perfectly, it is recommended to use the original screws from the crib's removed side rail, ensuring they are compatible and secure.
4. Check Stability: Once attached, gently shake the toddler bed rail to ensure it is firmly secured and stable. All connections should be tight.
5. Mattress Placement: Ensure the crib mattress is properly placed within the converted toddler bed frame, fitting snugly without any gaps that could pose a safety risk.

5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, the DaVinci Toddler Bed provides a safe and accessible sleeping environment for your child. The lower height and partial side rail allow your child to transition from a crib to a bed independently while offering a sense of security.

• Ensure the bed is placed on a level surface.
• Regularly inspect the bed for any loose hardware or signs of wear.
• Do not allow children to jump on the bed.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and safety of your DaVinci Toddler Bed Conversion Kit.

• Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspections: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and other hardware to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten as necessary.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all hardware in a secure bag and store in a dry place.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during assembly or use, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Screws do not fit: Some crib models may require the use of the original screws from the removed crib side rail. Ensure the screws are compatible and provide a secure fit. Do not force ill-fitting screws.
• Rail does not align: Verify that your crib model is listed as compatible with the DaVinci Toddler Bed Conversion Kit M11999. Compatibility issues can arise if the kit is used with an unsupported crib model.
• Bed feels unstable: Double-check that all hardware is fully tightened. Ensure the crib's headboard and footboard are also stable and properly assembled.
