4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Co-Sleeping Configuration (0-48 months)

4.3 Toddler Bed Configuration (Side Removed)

For older children who can independently enter and exit the bed, the side panel and legs can be effortlessly removed. This transforms the crib into a toddler bed.

4.4 Height Adjustment and Inclination

The crib is adjustable to 11 different height levels to match various adult bed heights. The bed base can also be inclined to promote comfort for the child, especially useful for babies with reflux or congestion. The feet can be adjusted to secure the crib to storage beds.
