Setup and Assembly
Before you begin, ensure you have a screwdriver and an Allen wrench (tools not included). The conversion kit utilizes the headboard and footboard from your existing crib.
Step 1: Disassemble Your Crib
Carefully disassemble your crib according to its original instruction manual. You will need to remove the side rails and the mattress support. Retain the headboard and footboard for the new bed configuration.
Step 2: Attach Conversion Rails to Headboard and Footboard
Position the two long wooden conversion rails between the headboard and footboard of your crib. Align the pre-drilled holes on the conversion rails with the corresponding holes on the headboard and footboard. Secure them using the provided hardware (bolts and nuts). Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

Step 3: Install Mattress Support (Sold Separately)
Once the conversion rails are securely attached, you will need to install a compatible mattress support system. This can be a box spring or a set of bed slats. These items are sold separately and are essential for proper mattress support and bed stability. Follow the instructions provided with your chosen mattress support system for installation.

Operating Instructions
Once assembled, the converted bed is ready for use. Ensure that the mattress and box spring (or slats) are properly seated within the bed frame. The bed is designed for a standard twin or full-size mattress, depending on the crib model it was converted from. Always ensure the bed is stable before allowing a child to use it.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the quality and appearance of your conversion kit, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Regularly check all hardware for tightness and re-tighten as necessary to ensure the bed remains stable and safe.
Troubleshooting
- Bed feels shaky:
Ensure all bolts and fasteners connecting the conversion rails to the headboard and footboard are securely tightened. Also, verify that your mattress support (box spring or slats) is correctly installed and provides adequate stability.
- Mattress falling through:
This kit requires a separate mattress support system (box spring or slats). The wooden rails alone are not designed to support a mattress directly. If using slats, ensure they are robust enough and properly spaced to support the mattress without sagging.
- Holes not aligning during assembly:
Double-check that you are using the correct headboard and footboard from your original crib. Some cribs may have specific orientations for these parts. Refer to your original crib's assembly instructions if available. Ensure the conversion rails are oriented correctly (e.g., "TOP" markings facing upwards if present).
