Operating Instructions
Mattress Height Adjustment
The Colby Grow crib features 4 adjustable mattress positions. Adjust the mattress height as your baby grows to ensure safety and accessibility:
- Highest Position: For newborns, before they can roll over.
- Mid-High Position: When your baby begins to roll over.
- Mid-Low Position: When your baby can sit up unassisted.
- Lowest Position: When your baby can stand.
Always ensure the mattress support is securely locked into place at the desired height. Refer to the assembly manual for specific instructions on adjusting the mattress support.

Converting Between Modes
The crib can be converted into a full-size crib with wheels, daybed, junior bed, and full-size bed. Each conversion requires specific reassembly steps and may require additional components (e.g., full-size bed conversion kit). Always consult the detailed instruction manual for the correct procedure for each conversion to ensure structural integrity and safety.
- Daybed: Remove one side rail of the full-size crib.
- Junior Bed: Replace the removed side rail with a shorter guard rail (included).
- Full-Size Bed: Requires the separate full-size bed conversion kit (M5789), full-size mattress, and bunkie board (M26058B).
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
To clean the crib, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or strong detergents, as these can damage the finish and material. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Regular Checks
Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and other fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose hardware can compromise the crib's stability and safety. Do not overtighten screws. Check for any signs of wear, damage, or splintering wood. If any part is damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Colby Grow crib, consider the following:
- Instability or Wobbling: Ensure all bolts and screws are fully tightened. Re-check the assembly instructions to confirm all parts are correctly installed. Uneven flooring can also contribute to wobbling; try moving the crib to a level surface.
- Difficulty with Conversions: Verify that you are following the specific conversion steps for the desired mode as outlined in the instruction manual. Ensure all necessary components for the conversion are present and correctly oriented.
- Damaged or Missing Parts: Do not attempt to use the crib if any parts are damaged, broken, or missing. Contact DaVinci customer support immediately for assistance and replacement parts.
- Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly: Check for debris caught in the wheels. Ensure the wheel locks are disengaged if you intend to move the crib. Lubrication may be applied if recommended by the manufacturer.
For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact customer support.
