Has anyone been able to find teething guards to put on the front and side rails? I can only find ones for standard size cribs.

I never actively looked but what I ended doing was wrapping the crib bumper thing that came with the sheet set around and over the top it helped to prevent further damage that what my little chipmunk had already done lol

I know this message is over a year old, but S. Donley, wondering if you ever tried the canopies from co-sleeper and if either the mini or original worked with the travel lite crib? If not, did you ever find another good solution? Have the same issue - need to keep out curious kitties!!

I have a 15mnth old and no he has not gotten this off. It works well so there are not teeth marks all over the crib...

No, you would need to get bed rails for the full size bed (and, of course, a mattress and/or box spring). The back of the crib becomes the headboard and the front of the crib would be the footboard. You can get bedrails, etc., at any retailer that sells beds (i.e. Sears, JC Penney, Better Bedding, etc.). If you go to this Amazon link, there are really good pictures of the crib/bed: Dream On Me Ashton Convertible 5 in 1 Crib, Pecan Hope this helps.

I would contact the company and see if they can help you buy one or talk to a local store manager who has one on display that maybe would give you a deal on the whole crib... Best of luck.

I have had dentist made night guards. When my dogs chewed my recently made guard, I did the do your own. I would try the Dentek products first. Be sure to read the directions several times before doing. It might take a couple times before it fits right. Be sure to talk to your dentist, first.

You can buy a mobile holder that doesn't screw through the gabs on the crib. It is a pressure held one. I bought one and used a mobile with mine just fine! :)

I'm not sure why, but ours does not fit snuggly at at all. It's very frustrating. I have about a 2 inch gap on both sides of the crib! I rolled up blankets to fill in the gaps, not ideal or really safe at all.

I think all you need is the toddler rail and screws, and it came with that. It may not come with the pieces needed to make it a full sided bed, though. I used it until my son was two, and then bought him a new bed and am using the crib for my baby girl now. Their customer service is really great, though! I realized we were missing some pieces a year later, so I contacted the manufacturer, and they shipped the pieces out free of charge. Maybe contact them to be sure?? Any standard sized baby mattress would work. I went to babies r us and bought the one that was most comfortable in my opinion. An organic mattress would be the only thing I would suggest to buy since it would be free of so many more toxins. They can be pricey, though.

You can order more from Dorel. I had a crib from them and they sent me new ones when I lost them.

I have a crib with solid ends as well. I attached the bumper to the slatted sides only. Our baby is just a few days old and hasn't used his crib yet, but I think it's going to work well. I also had mine monogrammed and it looks great!

You're welcome! I understand. You're being cautious of course! Another item I used for all 3 of my babies was a "wedge" that kept the baby on their backs.. Course they can't roll anyway ... BUT it keeps them firmly in place - which is good.. And gives the parents more peace of mind. Good luck!! :)

Target.com is where I got the conversion rail at. Still have not located a toddler rail yet.

They slide off, but it took my child awhile to figure it out. And the fit on our crib rails was tight. By the time he figured out how to take them off, he was past his chewing phase.

It depends on how wide the rails are to your crib. It seems to me that a lot of cribs today have very wide rails, and if yours is like that, I'd say no. The "lip" that allows this item to hang on the side of something isn't very wide.

I'm not sure. I searched for mini mattress and found the mattress to go with it. One thing about this crib that I think a lot of people don't know. Once baby is about 8 or 9 months, he/she will be teething. My baby stands in the crib and scraps his teeth on the rails. Now, i don't know how healthy the coating on the crib is for my baby. I know that the next time I do buy a crib, it will have rubber protection around the rails for teething.

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.
