How To Convert Davinci Mini Crib Twin Bed

How to Effortlessly Convert Your DaVinci Mini Crib into a Twin Bed

DaVinci mini cribs are renowned for their versatility and longevity, providing your little one with a comfortable and safe sleeping space from infancy to toddlerhood. When they outgrow their crib, the mini crib easily transforms into a twin bed, offering a seamless transition that saves you money and minimizes clutter. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth conversion:

Essential Tools and Materials:

DaVinci mini crib conversion kit
Screwdriver
Allen wrench
Hammer (optional, for stubborn screws)

Step 1: Assemble the Conversion Kit

Begin by removing the mattress and all other contents from the mini crib. Unpack the conversion kit and identify the components: two side rails, two end rails, and any additional hardware. Assemble the side rails onto the headboard and footboard using the included screws.

Step 2: Attach the Side Rails

Place the assembled side rails inside the mini crib frame. Align the holes on the side rails with the corresponding holes on the frame. Use the Allen wrench to tighten the screws securely. Ensure that the side rails are level and firmly attached.

Step 3: Add the End Rails

Take the two end rails and slide them into the slots on the side rails. Make sure the rails fit snugly and are parallel to each other. Use the Allen wrench or a screwdriver to tighten the screws that hold the end rails in place.

Step 4: Remove the Crib Mattress Support

Locate the crib mattress support, which is the platform that held the crib mattress. Carefully remove the screws that secure the support to the crib frame. Lift out the mattress support to create space for the larger twin mattress.

Step 5: Install the Slat Kit

The conversion kit will include a slat kit, which provides additional support for the twin mattress. Position the slats across the crib frame, ensuring they are evenly spaced and securely fastened with screws. Double-check the tightness of all hardware.

Step 6: Adjust the Rail Height

Once the slat kit is in place, you can adjust the height of the side rails to accommodate the twin mattress. Some conversion kits offer multiple height settings to suit different mattress thicknesses. Adjust the rails accordingly and tighten the screws to lock them in place.

Step 7: Add the Twin Mattress

Place the twin mattress on top of the slats. Make sure the mattress fits snugly inside the bed frame, without any gaps or overhangs. Double-check that the mattress is centered and secure.

Congratulations! Your DaVinci mini crib is now successfully converted into a twin bed.

Enjoy the convenience and longevity of this versatile piece of furniture, providing your child with a comfortable and restful sleep experience for years to come.
