4. Operating and Conversions

The Graco Hadley crib offers five conversion options to accommodate your child's developmental stages.

Conversion Stages:

  1. Crib: The initial configuration for infants. A standard crib mattress (sold separately) is required.
  2. Toddler Bed: Converts by removing the front rail and adding a toddler guardrail (sold separately).
  3. Daybed: Converts by removing the front rail, without the toddler guardrail.
  4. Full-Size Bed with Headboard: Requires a full-size bed conversion kit (sold separately). The crib's headboard is used.
  5. Full-Size Bed with Headboard & Footboard: Requires a full-size bed conversion kit (sold separately). Both the crib's headboard and footboard are utilized.

Adjustable Mattress Heights:

The mattress support base can be adjusted to three different height positions. The highest position is for infants, and the mattress should be lowered as your child grows and becomes more mobile to prevent climbing out.

Storage Drawer:

The full-size drawer located beneath the crib provides two compartments for convenient storage of blankets, sheets, or other nursery items. The drawer operates on Euro glides for smooth opening and closing.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your Graco Hadley crib.

  • Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Hardware Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the crib for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Discontinue use if any issues are found and contact customer support.
  • Storage: If storing the crib, ensure it is in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent warping or damage to the wood.

6. Troubleshooting

Should you encounter any issues with your Graco Hadley crib, please refer to the comprehensive User Guide (PDF) for detailed troubleshooting steps. Common issues and general advice include:

  • Loose Hardware: If the crib feels wobbly, check and tighten all screws and bolts.
  • Drawer Malfunction: Ensure the drawer glides are clean and free of obstructions. If the drawer is not square, check assembly of the drawer components.
  • Minor Imperfections: Small dings or scratches can sometimes occur during shipment. For cosmetic issues, touch-up pens or markers matching the finish color may be used. For significant damage, contact customer support.
  • Odor: A slight paint odor may be present upon unboxing. Allow the crib to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days before use.

If problems persist or if you have concerns about safety, do not use the product and contact Graco customer support.
