It seems we are having the same issue as many people. We are now ready to convert the crib in a toddler bed and the crib doesn’t include the piece. What is worst there’s no where to be found. I wished I had read these reviews, before buying. If anyone has a solution please let me know.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only Imagination and More Money Make This a 4-in1!

The Benton was a decent crib but as others have mentioned, it doesn't convert to a toddler bed. Since we've purchased it, new wording has been applied to the description that it converts to a day bed. But as any parent knows, you'll need a rail as children get adjusted to the new setup. Not only does it not come with a rail, you cannot purchase one. It doesn't exist for this model. Additionally, because of the spring frame sinking lower than the crossbar on the outer frame of the bed, you cannot adequately or safety connect any other bedrail made for this purpose. We eventually got a toddler bed rail knowing it wasn't going to attach to the bed and would also damage the frame in the process -- which hurts any resale value, of course. Now, as I feel like I've settled on being in this for the long haul, I came back to find out how to turn the frame into a full-bed headboard, etc. Nope! There is apparently some kit I need to buy. Well, not gonna happen. I'm letting this mess go.

Shouldn't be called a 4 in 1

I love it but now need to convert it to a toddler bed and don't have the guard rail or conversion bar so is this truly a 4 in 1? The color is great and I intend to use it for quite some time. Can someone from Graco help?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked great as a crib. But like other parents I need a guardrail now to convert to toddler bed and am having trouble finding one online that I can be sure is compatible. Can you please point me in the right direction?

My husband I, chose the bento convertible 4 in 1 thinking it would be the best choice for our baby as he grows. It was great for him as a infant but now now he is a toddler and there is no way to convert it into a toddlers bed. I’ve searched around for the toddler rail and no luck, if I would have known this was going to be the case I wouldn’t have bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Agree with everyone else here. This was a good crib but I’m extremely frustrated that I can’t find the toddler bed guard rail anywhere! Graco is still selling this crib but doesn’t even have the guard rail on their site! What’s the point?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

While this is promoted as a toddler bed the support rail for the conversion is not included and I cannot even find it to purchase.
