Too many hazards
on May 16, 2022
Posted by: Taram0810
from Poconos
Received this as a gift and loved the look. It seemed sturdy and safe. However, like many others stated the paint comes off VERY easily. My 1 yr old has been eating the paint chips of the top rail. If u look at the instructions the completed product isn't tested. Only some parts are. Are they painted in the US to certain specs? I doubt it.
Also the missing hardware for transitioning to the bed is purposely deceitful.
Caution Stickers labeling front/back were misplaced at the factory. That caused a lot of confusion.
My biggest concern is a definite safety issue. Her leg was trapped 2 times in 2 days. Her knee/thigh was wedged so tightly in the front rail she had bruises wrapping around her leg. The only way to dislodge it was to have her Dad pull apart the rails while I slid it out. If we weren't in the room, noticing it immediately im afraid she would've broken her leg. Im terrified it will get in her sleep so we aren't able to comfortably keep her in it

Great until turning it into the toddler bed

I bought this for my son and it was a great crib that we thought we would be able to use for years but unfortunately it is stuck as a crib. The instructions for the toddler bed states there needs to be a stretcher bar and it makes it seem like it is included but it never was. I tried looking to see if I could purchase one but when I put in the model number on the crib it says it is not a valid model number. So as a crib alone it's good but it should not be called a 4-in-1 if it can not actually be turned into 4 different things.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Conversion kit missing!

This worked well as a crib. Like other reviewers, mine didn't come with a toddler conversion kit! Very misleading and very disappointed. I expect this from other brands, but I consider Graco to (usually) be higher quality

Impossible to convert

Like others, I have been extremely disappointed to realize that this crib is actually a 1-in-1, not a 5-in-1 like it states. There is no way to convert it to a toddler bed, as no rails are compatible with it and the frame isn't sturdy enough to leave the front panel off. So disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As others have said, I am happy with this as a crib, but we now need to convert to a toddler bed and I am realizing we don't have the stretcher bar either! Very frustrating.

Where are the conversion kits?!

I brought this bed in May 2020. I have been trying to convert the crib to a toddler bed but I can’t find the conversion kit. Supposedly a 4 in 1 crib but where can I buy the pieces from if it’s not included in the original packaging.

Great crib but not convertible

As many other reviewers mentioned, this crib is misleading. How can it be converted to a toddler bed?
I also have had issues with the paint chipping. The crib has worked well for my daughter but for the price and being a Graco product, I would have expected better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cannot convert to toddler bed

Like other buyers, I was led to believe that it would be easy to convert to toddler bed. I am ready to pay for the rail but cannot find one that is compatible. Why would Graco make a product like this?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
