How to Change a Dorel Crib Into a Twin Bed

Dorel cribs are a good option for parents looking for flexibility. Many Dorel crib models are convertible, and can be turned into toddler beds, day beds and regular sized beds when needed. Dorel cribs can be converted into full-size bed head boards, which are connected to full-size metal rails to finish the bed. To make a twin bed, it is necessary to use twin size metal rails with the headboard.
