5. Operating: Mattress Height Adjustment
The Storkcraft Beckett Crib features a three-position adjustable mattress support base to accommodate your child's growth and ensure safety. It is crucial to adjust the mattress height as your child develops.
- Highest Position: For newborns and infants who cannot push up on their hands and knees.
- Middle Position: For infants who can push up on their hands and knees but cannot pull themselves to a standing position.
- Lowest Position: For children who can pull themselves to a standing position. This is the safest position to prevent falls.
To adjust the mattress height, you will need the small tool provided with your crib. The process involves removing and re-inserting screws that secure the mattress base to the crib frame. It is recommended to have two people for this task to safely lower or raise the mattress base.
Refer to the video below for a demonstration on how to adjust the mattress height:

6. Conversion Instructions
The Storkcraft Beckett Crib is designed to convert into a toddler bed and a daybed, extending its usability as your child grows. Conversion kits (toddler guardrails) are sold separately.
6.1. Converting to a Toddler Bed
To convert your crib into a toddler bed, you will need to remove one of the side rails and install the optional toddler guardrail (Storkcraft Toddler Guardrail, model 01350-30x, sold separately). Ensure the mattress is in the lowest position before conversion.
