Does this bed NEED a toddler rail to make it a Toddler Bed? or can you just take off the crib side?

You can take one side off but it doesn't come with anything to on a small side on to keep kiddos in. The mattress does drop down very low though so even if they fall out they're not falling far

I believe you can. I know that it comes with extra pieces to add the side of the bed once you remove the change table. I don't know how the side if the change table will look without the crib. I wasn't there when it was assembled.

the initial package includes the rail to convert it into a toddler bed and then a day bed. but you have to purchase the side rails to turn it into a full size bed as a separate order from the company

We bought this bed when my son turned 2 and he loved it. You may want to consider an additional bed rail because it doesn't stick up past the matress very far.

This is a crib, a toddler bed with rail (included), a toddler bed without rail (includes support for this) and also converts to a full size bed (but u have to buy the bed frame, obviously).

Yes, you would need to invest in some rails if you want to convert it to a toddler bed. The existing sides are too tall.

The conversion rails should have come with the crib. Mine came with two, for converting it to a toddler bed and day bed. I don't think they can be purchased separately. You could try to contact the company, but good luck with that. They are a terrible company to deal with.

If not planning to use the changing table yes you can remove it. But one sides legs is the crib

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.

A toddler bed has a small bar in the front so the child doesn't roll and fall of the bed. A day need a bed that looks like a crib in the back but doesn't have bars

Our crib converted to a toddler bed by basically removing the front railing. We are using this product with good results. It's designed for a twin bed or bigger - so we had to put the hooks in the middle of the bed to compensate for the straps being too long. But it seems stable enough for our needs.

Yes, the rail comes with the bed. And all of the instructions for converting it to a toddler and a full size bed.

Actually, a toddler bed (as it is known) has three walls to allow the toddler to get out of, or into, the bed on their own. I plan to convert my granddaughter's bed when she's old enough, although I am not altogether satisfied with the manufacturer's suggestion to just remove the front side because it would leave the edge of the mattress and spring exposed. I plan to fabricate a length of PVC lumber (that white stuff), because it's soft and there are no splinters to worry about, to fit over the front just to cover where the edges of the mattress and spring are exposed (so they won't slide around, or where she might get caught), but allow her to easily roll out of the bed over the panel I install. But it won't be for a while, yet.

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

You don't need to order a headboard, as you use the back of the crib, which will work as the headboard. You would need to purchase a twin bedframe and mattress. The front of the crib would act at the footboard of the toddler bed. I don't think we'll use this when we get to that stage but will likely just transition to a bed, or another toddler bed.
