5. Setup and Installation
Transitioning your crib to a full-size bed is a straightforward process, typically taking 20-30 minutes. This kit utilizes your existing crib's headboard and footboard to form a stable bed frame.
Installation Steps:

- Attach Bed Rails: Connect the new full-size bed rails to the existing headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure and tight.
- Install Slats (Optional, Recommended): If using additional slats (sold separately), place them across the bed rails to create a supportive base for the mattress.
- Place Mattress: Position your full-size mattress onto the bed frame.
Refer to the detailed instructions included in your package for specific diagrams and hardware guidance.
