Not a Great Toddler Bed

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children
I loved the bed when it was a crib. All but how tall the sides are. I had the hardest time reaching in to put my daughter to bed. The toddler part of the bed isn't very safe for toddlers. The bed does NOT come with a side rail to protect her from falling out. And the cheap metal bed rails don't work on any toddler bed. It has to be a mattress and box spring. The crib does come with a "guard rail" but its just there for the mattress to stay in. Really the toddler bed is called a DAY BED because they don't have the extra side rail that most toddler beds have. We might just have to convert it to the full size bed and use a rail. I do love the thickness and heavy duty part of the crib though.
I just made this review on Babies "R" Us. We have converted the bed into the toddler part and was hoping to order the side rail so Lizzy will stop falling out. I just found out though that it doesn't come with one!!! If you're looking to get a new crib that is a convertible crib, make sure it does come with the side rail and a guard rail.
That long piece right there is called the "Guard Rail". It's purpose is to hold the mattress in. "Guard" the mattress, but not Lizzy!!!
Here are the WARNINGS for this crib: The DAY BED is not intended for children under 15 months of age or over 50 lbs..... If guardrails are used as the mattress containment means, guardrail (s) provided must be used.
The only way the guard rail can be used is to hold the mattress in!
Sweet Lizzy and Isabelle sleeping. I can ONLY blog when they are asleep.

That's too bad. I looked at the toysrus page and it shows it set up as a toddler bed just like the picture that you have. That's a bummer. The one we bought for Jerdon and were able to use for all three boys had a little lip at the top of the front of the crib that folded down. That became the guard rail for the toddler bed. It worked great for Jerdon and Kaiden. We never converted it for Adin thouh. He was able to just jump right in the twin bed that we had that had rails all the way around. BTW...I can't believe how fast your girls are growing!!! They are so cute!!! :)
Thanks! Ya all the other crib brands have the extra rail so kids don't fall out. Oh well. At least its not every night she falls out. She has gotten used to it for the most part.
Bummer on the crib. You can buy a guard rail separately. We just put Hannah in a regular bed, and put a guard rail on the side. Works fine. Good luck! Hopefully your little one will stop falling out!
Wow! That is a bummer! I would have never thought about that... our crib is similar.. we'll have to see how it goes... hey how far apart are your girls? Just curious. Love ya!
OMG...they are adorable and so cute...

The girls are 14 months apart! Close huh! But they are getting along great.... so far! Do you have some news Heather?
If you could possibly tell me where I could find the hardware to turn the crib into the day bed I would REALLY appreciate it. We are a military family and the hardware got lost in the move!! If there are any directions you could provide I would be so grateful!!
