How To Turn A Crib Into A Bed. We secured it with screws and then used my Ryobi brad nailer to attach the vertical slats. When babies outgrow their cribs and toddlers outgrow their beds parents can just reconfigure the crib to turn it into a bigger bed. If you arent aware the dropside is the side of your childs crib that hangs lower than the other side. Remove the stationary side.
AttachThe Front Board. Repurpose your old Crib. I got high density foam cut to the right size to put next to the crib mattress so it is securely against our mattress and wrapped it tightly in a crib pad and sheet. Remove the stationary side. Move the cribs spring frame to the lowest level if it isnt there already. There is no real science here you just want to give the kids enough room to climb in and out.
Secure the frame with the same bolts and washers that were already holding it in place.
Remove the stationary side. Bolt the front board on the bed then slide the side on to the front board. Make sure the spot you pick to leave open is where you kids feet will be when they sleep. Hi all My Lo is rolling over nowWas waiting for him to roll over from 10 daysNow finally he didBut apart from being happy looking at him a concern started in my mindI use to keep my LO in the bassinet in the mornings and with me in the queen bed during the nightsNow he is out grown for the bassinet and i m putting him on the bedbut he started. You can save money by modifying the crib to make it into a daybed. Unscrew the four bolts that hold the stationary side of the crib in place.
