You could raise the crib mattress up one notch, and then you should gain the necessary room in insert the bulky bed rail frame that way. If you look at a picture of the Kidco Convertible Bed Rail on another site (just google the name), you'll that is what they've done. Hope this helps!

I would recommend a toddler bed rail for a bunk bed. Bunk beds will have a wider and longer mattress than a crib mattress. Usually the mattress on a bunk bed is thicker (higher) than a crib mattress as well. Meaning there would only be a few inches of rail sticking up past the mattress using a crib rail on a bunk bed. The higher toddler bed rail will compensate for the thicker mattress. The toddler bed rails will be longer and provide more coverage.

It comes with a piece of wood that I assume you use to replace the side that you take off. It just enables the child to crawl in and out of the bed. I assume you are talking about the "guard rail" that is for sale. The crib does not come with a "guard rail" to protect your child from falling out of the bed when it is set as a toddler bed. It just comes with the piece that enables you to transform it to a toddler bed. Hope this makes sense. :-)

No, you would need to get bed rails for the full size bed (and, of course, a mattress and/or box spring). The back of the crib becomes the headboard and the front of the crib would be the footboard. You can get bedrails, etc., at any retailer that sells beds (i.e. Sears, JC Penney, Better Bedding, etc.). If you go to this Amazon link, there are really good pictures of the crib/bed: Dream On Me Ashton Convertible 5 in 1 Crib, Pecan Hope this helps.

Hello.. Sorry.. There are no rails that comes with the bed nor can you have rails put on. It is not that kind of bed.. Blessings. Emily

It should work just fine. My daughter's crib also has a wooden platform, not springs, and this bed rail is designed specifically for these types of cribs.The rail has durable, adjustable straps that run from the rail under the mattress and to a metal disc. You place the disc upright against the opposite side of the mattress from the rail, and the mattress itself holds the rail in place. Unless your kid is strong enough to lift up his/her mattress, you shouldn't have any problems with the bedrail moving or shifting at all.

Amazon had the rail for this crib, but it's been out of stock. I just added it to my wish and list and checked every day until it was in stock. Then I bought it.

It depends on how wide the rails are to your crib. It seems to me that a lot of cribs today have very wide rails, and if yours is like that, I'd say no. The "lip" that allows this item to hang on the side of something isn't very wide.

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.

It only comes with the toddler bed rails. I'm not sure where to get the full bed rails

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.

I wondered the same thing so, I called Dream on Me , so I could before purchasing and they said that the "conversion kit" would just be any standard bed frame, which you could get from any store, but what I did find interesting was that you would need to buy the seperate leg post if you want to detach the changing table and use it seperate.... and you can buy that on the bottom of the webpage where they say "to complete the set".

The toddler guard rail is sold separately. I haven't been able to find it for this crib. We bought the crib anyway because we loved the style, color, and the price was good. We're very happy with it. I plan to use something like the KidCo BR102 Convertible Crib Rail - White Mesh or the Dex Safe Sleeper Convertible Crib Bed Rail BRCC.

I haven't tried it yet since my baby is only 7 months old. It does say it can turn into headboard and footboard. I do stare at it from time to time to see how that would work because the bed frame is not included and I'm not sure what part makes the safety side rails when turn into a toddler bed. Hope this helps.

I think all you need is the toddler rail and screws, and it came with that. It may not come with the pieces needed to make it a full sided bed, though. I used it until my son was two, and then bought him a new bed and am using the crib for my baby girl now. Their customer service is really great, though! I realized we were missing some pieces a year later, so I contacted the manufacturer, and they shipped the pieces out free of charge. Maybe contact them to be sure?? Any standard sized baby mattress would work. I went to babies r us and bought the one that was most comfortable in my opinion. An organic mattress would be the only thing I would suggest to buy since it would be free of so many more toxins. They can be pricey, though.

The crib can be converted into a toddler bed with an additional piece that is provided in the box (we have constructed the crib and just stored this additional piece for now). Additional part(s) need to be purchased if you want to convert into full sized bed later on, I'm not sure what they are exactly or how much they cost, but if I recall correctly the box indicates part numbers to order and a number to call (I'm at work at the mo so can't be certain). We aren't bothering with this for now. Hope this helps a little!

Side rails are not necessary to convert the crib into a toddler bed. All you do is remove the side(s) of the crib.
