Setup and Installation
The DaVinci M12599 Toddler Bed Conversion Kit is designed for straightforward installation. This kit replaces one of the long side rails of your compatible DaVinci crib to create an open side for toddler access while retaining a protective rail on the other side.
Required Tools:
- The Allen wrench or tool provided with your original DaVinci crib.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Crib: Ensure the crib mattress support is set to its lowest position for toddler bed use. Remove the mattress from the crib.
- Remove Crib Side Rail: Carefully unfasten and remove one of the long side rails from your crib. Retain all hardware (bolts, washers) as they will be reused.
- Attach Toddler Rail: Align the DaVinci M12599 Toddler Bed Conversion Kit rail with the corresponding holes on the crib end panels where the long side rail was removed.
- Secure the Rail: Using the original hardware (bolts and washers) from your crib, securely attach the toddler rail to the crib end panels. Tighten all bolts firmly, but do not overtighten.
- Final Check: Gently shake the assembled toddler bed to ensure all connections are secure and stable. Replace the mattress.

Usage
Once converted, the toddler bed provides a lower, more accessible sleeping surface for your child. The remaining side rail offers a degree of protection against rolling out, while the open side allows your child to independently enter and exit the bed.
Important Considerations:
- Ensure the room is child-proofed, as your child will have increased mobility.
- Regularly inspect the bed for any loose parts or signs of wear.
- The toddler bed is suitable for children who can climb out of their cribs and are ready for a more independent sleeping arrangement.
Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the quality and longevity of your DaVinci Toddler Bed Conversion Kit.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Storage: If storing the kit, keep it in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, please review the following common concerns:
- Difficulty aligning holes: Ensure you are using the correct side of the crib for conversion and that the crib model is compatible. Sometimes, rotating the rail or slightly adjusting the crib's position can help.
- Loose connections: Double-check that all bolts are fully tightened. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads.
- Missing parts: If any hardware or components are missing, do not proceed with assembly. Contact DaVinci customer support for assistance.
