4. Operating Instructions (Convertibility)
The Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 Convertible Crib is designed to grow with your child, offering three different configurations:

Toddler Bed Mode:
To convert the crib into a toddler bed, remove the front rail and install compatible toddler guardrails (sold separately). This allows your child to transition to a more independent sleeping arrangement while still providing a sense of security.

Daybed Mode:
For daybed mode, remove the front rail entirely. This creates an open-front seating area, ideal for a reading nook or a small sofa in a child's room.
