How to assemble a transforming crib

The children's room should have a minimum of furniture and a maximum of free space. A regular bed takes up too much space. A transformable crib will come to the rescue, which has received a lot of positive reviews among people.

Transformable bed: assembly tips

When choosing a transformable crib, you should pay attention to the following:

1. Safety. You need to make sure that the materials are environmentally friendly. The bottom must be slatted so that the bed can breathe. And there should not be a large distance between the bars so that the child’s head does not fit there.
2. Beds can have wheels, legs and runners. All options have their advantages and disadvantages.
3. Cradles are suitable for newborn babies.
4. Convertible cribs are very popular in today's market because they not only look like standard beds, but also have space inside where you can store baby care items.

Important! The size of such furniture varies. But transformers can be disassembled to the size of a large bed and assembled to save space. The advantage is that when assembled, the bed is suitable for children under 4 years old, and when disassembled it is suitable for any age.

Advantages and disadvantages of a transformable crib

Such designs have their pros and cons:

1. You can remove the nightstand as this will help increase the length of the bed.
2. The width cannot be increased. Therefore, this design is more suitable for newborns.
3. Materials - wood, metal or plastic, all environmentally friendly.
4. A mounted locker will allow you to take all the things your baby needs without leaving the bed.
5. The presence of a table for changing diapers simplifies the work.

Attention! The price for such furniture is average. It all depends on the material, size, as well as the number and size of additional accessories (cabinets, drawers, bedside tables).

First you need to buy all the necessary materials. Most often, transforming beds are made of wood, because it is environmentally friendly. The only tool you need is a screwdriver. All necessary fastenings are sold complete with the bed. The design assembly process is as follows:

1. First, make a project with drawings.
2. Prepare a place where the bed will be placed. Cover it with a light cloth so as not to lose small parts (bolts and cogs).
3. Assemble the bed frame. To do this, connect the lower sides with the backs. Secure the frame so that it does not bend during operation.
4. First you need to attach a fixed wall to both walls of the crib. All necessary fasteners are included. Note! Correctly install the top and bottom of the wall.
5. Now let's take a place to sleep. Very often it is already ready, in the form of a bed, and you just need to put it on. But if there is no bed, then it is in the form of slats. They need to be inserted into the grooves on the sides and secured with screws.
6. Now you need to install the façade wall. It is important that it is mobile. Everything is held together with screws.
7. Now you need to assemble the bedside table from the parts included in the kit. It is secured with screws. It will be level with the crib.
8. Now you need to assemble the second bottom for the small bed.
9. It is necessary to check all the grilles on the sides again.
10. If the structure is on wheels, it must be turned over to mount the wheels in the grooves.
11. If there are pendulum runners, they need to be assembled and installed.
12. We collect boxes where clothes and other items for the baby will be stored.
13. Attach the side wall (where the drawers are).
14. We install boxes.
15. We place the structure on the pendulum. Don't forget about the fasteners.
16. We close all the screws and nuts with plugs (so that the baby does not get scratched while sleeping).
17. We screw a table to the bedside table where we will change the baby's films.
18. We assemble all the shelves and insert them into the structure.

Assembly of the transforming crib is completed. All that remains is to prepare the bed for the baby.

Depending on the kit chosen, slight differences in assembly may occur. Most often, the kit comes with instructions that will help you assemble the bed.
