[@rachelfigueroa3681]

I love you for this video!!!!! I will finally be converting my child crib into a toddler bed! Thanks to you💜💜💜

[@amberleprater7057]

Thank you so much! This was perfect to help me convert ours. Your voice is so nice too 🙂

[@aprilsuniverse]

Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful

[@ashleyflores8592]

Thank you so much for this!! My 2 year old no longer likes sleeping in the “crib” he wants to be a big boy and sleep on his own bed but I lost the directions and this helped me a lot. Thank you!!

[@aprilsuniverse]

I'm glad the video helped. I hope he enjoys his big boy bed!

[@chasingpirates1]

When you purchased it, did you select the order the extra converter options? I can't figure out how to add the side railing and I think it's because I didn't order it .

[@viaPlanetNu]

I would love to see it with the mattress together and everything . Btw you're a life saver for giving these visual instructions . I have this crib in Gray and have no clue how to change it so thank you !!!!

[@aprilsuniverse]

nubieTheGoddess I'm glad it's helpful! I'll post a community picture as soon as I figure out how to☺ Edited: I can't figure out how to add it here but I can post on Instagram

You taking you crib apart helped me put together a crib I bought off someone online who did not include instructions. Your video very helpful!

[@MartFinds]

This has been great just what screws do I use to attach the toddler rail to the daybed ra

[@aprilsuniverse]

The screws should be included or come from the piece you took off. If you don't have the screws, you can reach out to the company to request them. This information is all based upon my experience from years ago so I hope it's helpful.

Have you ever had to move this crib to another room or moving to a new location? I'm just wondering if you have to dissemble the whole thing or if there's an easier way to get it through a door? Thanks.

[@meowmeowkitty9825]

Extremely informative!! Thank you so much for making this video!!!!

[@aprilsuniverse]

You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful😊

[@jessicahaskins4576]

Did u have to buy separate parts for conversion or did it all come together . Mine says sold separately

[@aprilsuniverse]

No, I didn't but my crib was purchased in 2015 so they might have changed what the crib comes with.

[@shunasiaharris6350]

Yes I’m thinking if buying this one

[@aprilsuniverse]

It's large but a wonderful crib/toddler bed.

[@ryanr6742]

Can you detach changer table while using crib? it looks like one of the walls to the crib

[@aprilsuniverse]

No you can't because it is one of the walls for the crib.

[@natalyvelasquez1151]

I don’t have the instructions to the crib do you mind sending them to me ..

[@aprilsuniverse]

Sure. Do you have Instagram? I can send in DM. IG: jtm2015.wordpress

[@maribelrivera1512]

What did you screw the safety rail with?

[@aprilsuniverse]

Maribel Rivera hello I used an Allen wrench also known as a hex key. It should've come with crib but if it didn't you can buy one at a hardware store☺

[@maribelrivera1512]

Journey to Mommy I used all four bolts to secure the guard rail on but Idk what screws to use to secure the safety rail, did it come with extra bolts?

[@aprilsuniverse]

Maribel Rivera I needed to use one bolt from the bottom right headboard railing but I may have been missing a bolt. I know you can order replacement parts from the company but be aware that they charge for certain parts.

[@Shortyrock515]

random, but how old was you child when you converted the crib? I have the same one, im looking to do the same, just curious. First time mom here

[@aprilsuniverse]

Shortyrock515 hi i did it when he was about 22months (almost 2). I'm a ftm also. I converted because I was having a hard time getting him to stay asleep when I laid him down. Best decision I've made but down side is he can get out by himself.

[@Shortyrock515]

Journey to Mommy right! Lol that was my thing, it kind of just opens the door for the getting up a million times until they get the hang of it lol. My son is 16 months, I taught him young how to get down from my bed, couches things like that when he was smaller. FEET FIRST! im not worried about him falling, but I did it today after watching this video!! so far so good he hasn't gotten up yet! 🤷‍♀️👍

[@aprilsuniverse]

Shortyrock515 ☺I did the same with my son but he does get up. His favorite thing is to play when he's supposed to be sleeping but he does sleep way better now that I don't have to lower him into the crib. I hope your son likes his big boy bed!

[@bluesouthpaw6326]

BEWARE!!!! We have this crib and my son got his entire arm wedged into the diaper changing section. He put it through the gap/space on the left hand side of the diaper changing table. He couldn't sit down and was crying. His arm was wedged so bad i had to use coconut oil to get it out. I almost had to get out the hammer and break the side off. He is 16 mos. My daughter and his twin have used this crib and it never happened to them but my husband will be trying to take off the diaper changing side completely tonight. So always remember that is a possibility amd can happen. Stupid people should have designed it with no gap.

[@aprilsuniverse]

L S I never thought about that. Thanks for the warning!!

[@bluesouthpaw6326]

Journey to Mommy no problem. It just happened today so i wanted to try and warn others. My daughter used this crib for over a yr and we loved it. Never thought there was anything that could possibly happen with this crib.

[@bountyfyah]

Did you get it off? I have been searching for a way to get that changer off!
