Operating Instructions

Adjusting Mattress Height:

The Storkcraft Beckett Crib features an adjustable mattress support with 4 height options. This allows you to lower the mattress as your child grows and becomes more mobile, ensuring their safety by preventing them from climbing out. To adjust the mattress height, carefully remove the mattress, detach the mattress support from the side rails, reposition it to the desired height, and re-secure it with the provided hardware. Always ensure all four corners are at the same height and securely fastened.

Converting to Toddler Bed:

To convert the crib into a toddler bed, remove the front side rail and replace it with an optional Storkcraft Toddler Guardrail (sold separately). Ensure the mattress support is set to the lowest position for safety. This conversion is suitable for children who can easily get in and out of the bed unassisted.

For conversion to a daybed, simply remove the front side rail. No additional parts are typically required for this configuration. The daybed provides an open sleeping or lounging space for an older child.

Maintenance

To maintain the quality and appearance of your Storkcraft Beckett Crib, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals, as these can damage the wood finish. Regularly check all screws and bolts and tighten them as needed to ensure the crib remains stable and secure. Store the crib in a dry, temperate environment if disassembled for future use.

Troubleshooting

• Loose Parts: If any parts feel loose, immediately stop using the crib and re-tighten all screws and bolts according to the assembly instructions.
• Squeaking: If the crib squeaks, check all connections for tightness. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to metal-on-metal contact points if necessary, ensuring it is child-safe.
• Difficulty Adjusting Mattress Height: Ensure the mattress support is free of obstructions and that the pins align correctly with the holes in the side rails. Do not force the adjustment.
• Damaged Parts: Do not attempt to repair damaged parts. Contact Storkcraft customer support for replacement parts.
