Is there a crib rail protector/teething protector that works well for this crib? I'm specifically wondering about the short ends.

No. That is probably the only thing I don't like about the crib. However, I bought a couple yards of fleece at Walmart (cheaper than buying a teething guard anyways) and made my own but cutting and tying around the slats. Just google or search for a DIY of this. Overall we still like the crib

We got a padding set and stuff for a regular crib I think. It still fits. I just tucked it under the mattress. I didn't use the pads because I've heard babies just squeeze under them anyways.

I think all you need is to buy two bed rails from the company that makes them. I bought two of these cribs for my twins and really like them. But my babies are 3 months old so I haven't got to that point yet.

Ours did not come with teething rails. I'm assuming the newer models discontinued them and the manuals were not updated.

Yes, my baby chewed/licked it off before he had more than a couple of teeth, and it ruined the side of the crib. (luckily we did not have it on the expensive crib, just a fold up one) I would not suggest these.

Have you tried aggressively pulling up on the center of the bottom of the crib? I've had this issue with mine too, but it's usually resolved by pulling up on the bottom (fairly high) and then latching the side. Kind of a weird mechanism.

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.

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.

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.Kidco Convertible Crib Bed Rail

I'm not sure what sort of co-sleeper you have, but it attach's to the crib with a strap that goes around the top rail, through the slats and buckles. So it has to have something to be able to wrap around. I couldn't attach it to my pack-n-play because of that.

I just found some regular sized crib sheets that are really stretchy (the plush fluffy kind) with elastic around the entire fitted sheet, the leftover tucks itself under the matress since it has elastic all the way around. no problems here, and I can use them on the regular crib too if need be.

Yes - we have a standard size Bumper on ours. It fits fine, you just tie the corner ties since there are no holes on the ends. All that being said, I think Pediatricians are recommending no bumpers at all anymore in cribs....

I use a regular crib sheet and use suspender type things to keep it pulled tight across the back ... Other than that, I don't know.

I had the same problems as Patrick Calahan and Kristin1724. I emailed back and forth with the manufacturer all day today, and was informed "there will still be a gap on the toddler rail." I've since reported this crib to the CPSC (http://www.saferproducts.gov/Default.aspx) because I believe that the design of the converted toddler bed with the rail gap is unsafe. If I had know about this gap before choosing the crib, I would never have chosen the Babyletto Mercer. I now need to purchase a toddler bed for my 22-month-old.

Our biggst issue with this product was adhesion to the crib rail. Our 14 month old has lots of teeth and has yet to chew through it.

No I never did find anything. Seems strange that no companies have developed a rail for this case. Let me know if you have better luck!

The predrilled holes didnt match up so it did not exactly fit the specified crib. Some holes matched up and i provided w work around to keep it up, a bunch of string looks silly but oh well
