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.

This bed does not come with the additional material to turn it into a full size bed. There is only a toddler rail included.

No, I believe you have to buy the extra parts. Like the crib to bed, you need to buy the side railings for toddler. Other than that, not sure what else you'd need.

I have recently submitted an email to the company themselves, (Www.afgbabyfurniture. com) to further help answer this question. Will update when I get a response. The product details on amazon state that it does change into a toddler bed only doesn't come with the guard rail. Only when you go to their website the only thing it states is that the mattress is adjustable to grow with your baby, but the Leila crib is found under classic cribs, not the convertible ones. The convertible ones on the afg website come with the railings.

If you follow the directions on the manual that comes with the bed, you'll be able to put it together. It took us about 2 to 3 hrs.

I purchased this crib for my daughter's new baby that is only a 9 days old. They are moving in the near future and it hasn't even been put together yet..he is sleeping in a bassinet for now. We have not purchased the crib conversion rail yet.

you take the front side off, put the mattress in the lowest setting, and use this product http://www.amazon.com/Kidco-Convertible-Crib-Bed-Rail/dp/B002ZDFVP4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top 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.

I'm not sure about your specific bed, but they converted my crib to a twin, so the size is too long for a toddler bed.

I was initially concerned about the railing because it came up only a few inches above the top of our standard size twin mattress and we were putting our 2-year-old in the bed. He has never fallen out of it and it is enough of a lift from the top of the mattress that he rests against it and doesn't roll over it when in bed. Once he does get more daring, though, it will offer little deterrent from jumping....but we're talking a 4' fall to thick, padded carpeting...

It's really not that hard. There are two straps on the back that you clip around the crib

It comes with the toddler rail when using it as a toddler bed (visible in fourth picture, I think). But, to convert it to a full bed, you will have to purchase a bed frame, and use the front and back of the crib as the headboard and footboard.

This crib does take a standard crib mattress. I'm impressed with the quality of it. The crib is sleek and compact and takes minimal effort to put together. The only thing I'm not impressed with is the size of the drawer underneath. It doesn't pull out that far and it's not very deep. Other than that-- I'm glad we got this one. You have to special order the toddler conversion rail separately for $129 at babies r us and it took 6 weeks to get in. The company we ordered the crib from didn't even have the toddler conversion rail. Good luck

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 got a toddler rail with this bed. Conversion rails will have to be bought later.

I wasn't paying attention when my husband was putting it together but you are suppose to be able to use the changing table as a night table when u convert the crib to a toddler bed. I know there are a couple of pieces that I will have to order to convert it to the toddler bed but not sure if I will have to buy any pieces to use for the stand alone night table. And also, I don't know where all the negative comments are coming from with this crib. We love it and it is beautiful and well built. Very sturdy and looks a lot more expensive than what we paid for it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is shopping for a crib.
