Operating Instructions
Crib Mattress Positions:
The crib features four adjustable mattress positions. The mattress support can be lowered as your baby grows and begins to sit or stand, ensuring safety and preventing climbing out. Always use the lowest position once your child can stand unassisted.
4-in-1 Conversion Options:
The Dakota crib is designed to grow with your child through four stages:
- Full-Size Crib: For infants and toddlers.
- Toddler Bed: Converts using toddler kit #M14999 (sold separately).
- Daybed: Converts from crib configuration.
- Full-Size Bed: Converts using full-size kit #M14989 (sold separately). The changing station can be detached and used as a standalone nightstand.
Refer to the specific conversion kit instructions for detailed steps on transforming the crib.

Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions:
To clean the crib and changer, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals, as these may damage the finish. Ensure the product is completely dry after cleaning.
Material Care:
The product is constructed from solid sustainable New Zealand pinewood and TSCA compliant engineered wood with a non-toxic multi-step painting process. Regular inspection of all hardware and components is recommended to ensure they remain secure and in good condition.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, please review the assembly guide for common solutions. Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened correctly. If problems persist, or if you suspect a part is damaged, please contact customer support.
- Loose Parts: Periodically check all bolts and screws. Tighten as necessary.
- Squeaking: Ensure all connections are secure. A small amount of lubricant on metal-to-metal contact points may help, but avoid contact with wood or child-accessible areas.
