Is the stationary side rail [non drop-down] a problem with anybody? Buying a crib for my daughter and wondering about this.

Only use it occasionally, when my grandchildren visit. It is a safety issue and is illegal to sell drop down cribs anymore. You can adjust the height of the mattress up or down depending on the age & size of the child.d

There is a different part for the toddler bed. You need new rails unless you bought them with the original crib.

Toddler Rail doesn't come with the crib. Not sure where to get it at. I would check with the manufacture's site. Good luck shopping!

I have a crib with solid ends as well. I attached the bumper to the slatted sides only. Our baby is just a few days old and hasn't used his crib yet, but I think it's going to work well. I also had mine monogrammed and it looks great!

There is no need for a side rail for it to convert to a toddler bed like other convertible cribs need in order to "stand-up." It does however need a railing for real young kids to prevent them from rolling out of bed.

The mini crib does not have the same support system of metal springs like its full sized sibling. The mattress will sit on a plywood board. My daughter is big for her age and very rambunctious and often will jump herself to sleep for naps. The mini crib works well even though I was hesitant on the wood base. We use it over at my mom's house so its not her primary bed. Works well without complaints or issues 2 years now.

I think the 3-1 is more along the lines that it converts to a toddler bed with guard rail and then a toddler daybed. All cribs now are fixed side (don't go up and down) due to safety standards.

Yes, you can let it "rest" on the bottom of the "lip" of the bed frame side rail because the weight of the box springs and mattress will keep it in place. Just make sure the legs on the bottom are adjusted so they will not push up to much on the support rail(slat). The support rail has about 1 1/2" of surface where it will rest on the bed side board. The wood screws help to keep it from falling down especially if you "jump" into bed or if you are moving the bed without taking it apart and have wood floors.

The crib height does adjust (I believe there are three settings)... One thing I love about this crib is the 'wave' in the siderails... It allows you to lean over where there is a dip and you can reach easier ;). I honestly didn't even think about it until my husband pointed it out ;)

It seems that the designer of the bed doesn't think a guard rail is needed -- the steel frame of the springs should give it enough structural rigidity. However, I wouldn't like that frame exposed, and so when that time comes (my granddaughter is only 10 mos old right now), I plan to just fashion a piece of wood, shaped with a router to a nice curve and stained, to serve to cover the exposed spring frame so it looks like it's a proper piece of the bed.

Neither side goes up and down. However, it's a smaller crib and doesn't seem necessary. I'm extremely happy woth this product.

My daughter climbs in and out and abuses her crib quite a bit. To date it has never fallen over. Hope this helps.

It does not fit on the side rails for the two cribs I have. It would fit on the front, but it was always in the way.

No. That has proven to be unsafe and newer cribs are no longer using that design. I have 5 kiddos and I purchased this crib for baby #5. The front side is lower than an older style crib's front panel when it is up, if that makes sense. I have used this from newborn through toddler stages and it is super. You won't be disappointed! It's a bargain for the price...it is beautiful.

Have you tried aggressively pulling up on the center of the bottom of the crib? I've had this issue with mine too, but it's usually resolved by pulling up on the bottom (fairly high) and then latching the side. Kind of a weird mechanism.

I would recommend using a dust ruffle because you can see in between the mattress and drawer. It's not like a traditional crib where the dust ruffle will hang on the floor but it still looks nice.. and once mattress is perfect! It's not too high and not too low, it's right where an infant mattress should be but you could always try it yourself depending on what you like. I absolutely love this crib and I don't think you'd regret ordering it
