How difficult is it to convert from a crib to toddler bed with the railing? How long does it take?

I'm not sure because my daughter is still a baby. I'm hoping its not too difficult.

It was easy to do. It took about 20-30 minutes. We had our toddler help so that added time. Make sure you have the little tool you used to put the bed together.

I just spent 3 days trying to figure this out myself. You have to buy a regular full size metal frame to use the sides of the crib as headboard and foot board. There are no actual conversion rails for it.

Just your regular crib mattress will do. It does convert to a toddler day bed but even the toddler beds use the same crib mattress. I just went to check the tag on the mattress and it says 27x51 inches. Enjoy.

It comes with a side rail and different screws so it can be made into a toddler bed with or without the side rail. It doesn't fully convert to a twin bed though.

you take the front side off, put the mattress in the lowest setting, and use this product Kidco Convertible Crib Bed Rail to make a short side to keep the toddler from rolling out. graco does not make or sell a conversion kit to make it a "toddler bed" that most people assume.Kidco Convertible Crib Bed Rail

Not sure about toddler rails. The full size rails do not come with the bed and must be purchased separately.

Has anyone found where to buy the toddler rail to match this crib? Bought crib last January. Love the crib but now need to plan for the toddler rail.

It clearly says in the description "Converts from crib to toddler day bed (rail sold separately)"

The headboard and footboard for the toddler bed conversion are already part of he dream on me crib; they are the front and back of the crib. The only item you need to purchase when converting the crib is a twin mattress with box spring and the standard metal twin bed frame. The head and footboards are bolted onto either end of the standard frame to complete the toddler bed. I hope this answers your question.

I am not sure about whether it can be converted. However, I don't think you would want to bother to buy whatever would be necessary to do so (it doesn't come with that capability). I think my grandsons will outgrow this bed by age 3 if not sooner. It is, however, a really cute little crib for that infant to age 3 range.

The changing table and crib share a side, so no it can't be used seperately. As far as the after the conversion, I am not sure but I would guess it does not stay attached

No. It took me and a friend about 90 minutes to di it with simple tools. It still looks great and the grandkids love it!

You can't! I have been looking for 18 months for the conversion guard rail that goes with this crib. All I have found is that everyone has had the same issue. I guess most people just buy the mesh guard rail for a toddler bed, which is what I will end up doing. Seems like false advertising to me.

I just received mine. It seems to only convert to a toddler bed, no extra pieces needed.

The complete conversion kit for toddler bed came with the crib. The first package was damaged and required exchange which was simple. We love the crib.

you will use the crib mattress for the toddler bed and day bed... then later it will convert to a headboard and foot board for a full size bed.
