Can you remove both long sides of the crib and just have the two ends on? I haven't seen any photos where it is used like that.

Yes, you could remove both sides but it would be very wobbly because the side pieces are what keeps it stable. I have used it with just one side taken off as a toddler bed and that works great. Basically the metal frame that the mattress sits on has little metal "arms" on each corner that screw into the legs on the short sides of the bed. These arms can pivot where they are connected to the metal frame so there is some give and the side rail is what keeps the bed square and you need at least one of them on for it to be stable.

The changing area simply snaps on to the top of the playard. You could remove it to access the bottom area, which would seem safer as it would be in the way over the top. It comes off fairly easily. I have only used this with a newborn at this point, but am very pleased with it.

You can use it with a convertable crib that you have changed to the toddler bed mode, but not as it is still in crib mode. The rail has hinges that stick out on the side of the mattress so the walls of the crib would get in the way of those.

Yes, mine didn't stick very well to begin with. I have an Ikea crib. my 1.5 year old can pull it off herself. I dont think u will have a problem removing it. If u do, u can try a blow dryer to soften sticky glue.

You would have to remove the mattress, release the sides, fold it up and lay or stand it flat. A hassle but not very difficult. It's one of the few cribs on the market - maybe the only one - that is portable in this way.

Yes, or at least partly. From what I recall that part consists of two half spheres that are joined together when you essemble it. The two spheres connect in the center by screwing the two halves together. So you might be able to remove the bottom half but I am not sure if you could remove the whole thing.

There is a lever at the back that you move to one side and it separates the bottom part and the top part. I'm assuming that's what you are wanting to do.

You can unscrew the ends and remove the horizontal bars. The curved pieces that come out, where you screw the bars into, are welded and can't be removed.

All sides are fixed... No more retractable crib sides. Pottery barn explained to me that retractable crib sides can be dangerous, so they're not made much anymore.

It's been awhile since I put it together but I don't believe you can because the staircase is integrated into the design for the end of the bed. You'd have to fabricate your own end piece if you were to remove the staircase.

If you have the insert (which you need unless your kid is really big or 2+) then yeah you have to take it off. It's very easy, even if you have a baby in one hand. We love it.

Yes the two sides may be taken off and removed if you don't like them. With the sides off the multi-tool ,the tool willshut closer together like a leather-man or normal multi-tool when closed, and when on they separate the two sides slightly. However when doing squeeze task like griping with the pliers or cutting thick wire the handles round the edges so you get a more comfortable grip and can allow you to squeeze even more hard for gripping or cutting pressure because of the ergonomics with the tool covers.

In regards to the toddler rail, it only comes with one. You replace the front of the crib (the foot board in a full sized bed) with this toddler rail. So just the one side is accessible. If you get the bed rails (which I would advise) to transform the crib into a full sized bed, they come with two. Hope it helps! I love everything about this crib

You can, but I didn't as well. I actually made a cover for mine. I like having the pad go all the way to the corner. It's not as horrible as some of the reviewers make it out to be. Babies usually aren't on there for more than 10 minutes, it's not like it has to be super comfy so they can nap up there...

Both long sides are finished but one is finished more securely than the other and I expect you would want to either hem, use butterfly clips or velcro tape to form a hem on the ends and possibly sides. I used velcro tape for an indoor use and it worked well. Am thinking of doing something similar to what you describe next summer and will likely fold the ends and put in grommets to hook it in place.

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.

Yes you can.It is very simple ,You don't have to remove the 2 arms,just remove the 2 cotterpins on the bottom of each arm, That's all you need to do
