I'm so sorry that I couldn't answer your question; that function of the bed I haven't use yet; I can't help you. My son is 7 months years old.

Actually, a toddler bed (as it is known) has three walls to allow the toddler to get out of, or into, the bed on their own. I plan to convert my granddaughter's bed when she's old enough, although I am not altogether satisfied with the manufacturer's suggestion to just remove the front side because it would leave the edge of the mattress and spring exposed. I plan to fabricate a length of PVC lumber (that white stuff), because it's soft and there are no splinters to worry about, to fit over the front just to cover where the edges of the mattress and spring are exposed (so they won't slide around, or where she might get caught), but allow her to easily roll out of the bed over the panel I install. But it won't be for a while, yet.

We did for the first year and then got rid of it. If you're considering buying this bed I would not recommend it. It was extremely difficult to put together. Some of the "wood" (partical board) broke while putting it together. We've had it 3 years and it's deteriorating.

Nope to change to a toddler bed, the front comes off so it looks like a daybed but the change table is still there attached. You can't separate them as the change table acts as one side of the crib. It's a very solid crib, we love it!

you take the front side off, put the mattress in the lowest setting, and use this product KidCo Convertible Crib Bed Rail 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.

Stephen, We uncover lots of pipes on the wall and there was no way to install Toto in the wall (no room), so we give up and return it back. We went with plan B. It is good to have many options/plans when you renovate a bathroom because you never know what might get uncover while tear down walls or check the older pipes. Kind regards,

The crib can be converted into a toddler bed with an additional piece that is provided in the box (we have constructed the crib and just stored this additional piece for now). Additional part(s) need to be purchased if you want to convert into full sized bed later on, I'm not sure what they are exactly or how much they cost, but if I recall correctly the box indicates part numbers to order and a number to call (I'm at work at the mo so can't be certain). We aren't bothering with this for now. Hope this helps a little!

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.

I don't think I needed to add the center board, if I didn't wish to. I thought it would make 2 stronger beds, supported, if I did, so I did. If center support is not an issue then why not?

I'm pretty sure you can't. There are slightly other configurations, for instance with a twin bed under. It's a great bed, very durable, my kids love it. The full sized bed is on casters and can stand alone, so you don't have to use it if you don't want it.

Ok I think the easiest way to put it is... take a regular size wall height cut it in half and divide it into 3 parts it is only big enough for one of those three parts. I'm not good at guessing inches and feet. Sorry hope this helps

I asked the same question and someone responded, you just take off the front rail to convert to toddler bed.

Yes, the only thing that doesn't come with this is the conversion to a full bed. But it will have everything you need to go to a toddler bed to a day bed. It takes a while to assemble, but it looks really nice when it's done. Have another person there to help you though.

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 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!

I ordered this crib for my newest grandchild. The description stated that it could be converted to a full size bed, but did not mention anything about a toddler bed. I wish I could have helped more.
