Does this bed NEED a toddler rail to make it a Toddler Bed? or can you just take off the crib side?

You can take one side off but it doesn't come with anything to on a small side on to keep kiddos in. The mattress does drop down very low though so even if they fall out they're not falling far

Crib converts to a toddler bed (no guard rail needed for conversion), day bed and then a full size headboard and footboard

The conversion rails should have come with the crib. Mine came with two, for converting it to a toddler bed and day bed. I don't think they can be purchased separately. You could try to contact the company, but good luck with that. They are a terrible company to deal with.

Yes, it is a nice crib but does not come with the rails. They need to be purchased separately.

The bed is a standard size because standard sheets fit it. When conversion of a toddler bed is needed, you remove one side of rails. It sits very low to the ground. If you need extra rails, they make rails that go 1/3 to 1/2 way down the mattress. These rails fit under the mattress and may be removed, if needed.

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.

It comes with a side rail and different screws so it can be made into a toddler bed with or without the side rail. It doesn't fully convert to a twin bed though.

The side rail is attached to the unit so it does not lift off. You would be able to remove it if you needed to. Just fyi. The bed can be set up to move the bunk bed entry from one side to the other. This was an all day project for two but this is a really sturdy product.

You can't! I have been looking for 18 months for the conversion guard rail that goes with this crib. All I have found is that everyone has had the same issue. I guess most people just buy the mesh guard rail for a toddler bed, which is what I will end up doing. Seems like false advertising to me.

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.

Has anyone found where to buy the toddler rail to match this crib? Bought crib last January. Love the crib but now need to plan for the toddler rail.

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

The toddler guard rail is sold separately. I haven't been able to find it for this crib. We bought the crib anyway because we loved the style, color, and the price was good. We're very happy with it. I plan to use something like the KidCo BR102 Convertible Crib Rail - White Mesh or the Dex Safe Sleeper Convertible Crib Bed Rail BRCC.

A toddler bed has a small bar in the front so the child doesn't roll and fall of the bed. A day need a bed that looks like a crib in the back but doesn't have bars

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

This bed doesn't require any rails because you will ONLY use the headboard and footboard parts of this toddler bed to make a full bed frame. The headboard (back of the bed from the picture) and footboard (front section of the bed) will be attached to a generic bed frame (a metallic bed frame you often get it for free or $50-70 from a furniture score (http://www.amazon.com/Kings-Brand-Rollers-Locking-Wheels/dp/B00ABGSTY2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid;=1432250065&sr;=8-5&keywords;=metal+bedframe). So, this toddler bed cannot be really upgraded to a full bed (Maybe it can be called as "upgrade"). Rather, you can reuse headboard, footboard, and maybe a drawer sections of the bed. Hope it helps!

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