Are convertible cribs a good idea?
A convertible crib is a great option because it can transition with your child from infancy through toddler years and potentially into preschool and beyond, since it can convert from a crib into a toddler bed, a day bed, or a full-size bed.

- Remove one side of the crib.
- Remove the bedding.
- Attach the brackets to the rail.
- Position the rail.
- Fix the rail to the bed.
