How to Convert a Simmons Crib 'N' More With Drop Side to a Full Size Bed

Simmons makes a variety of convertible cribs including the Crib 'N' More. This model can convert from a crib to a toddler bed and then to a full-size bed. Simmons offers a full-size bed rail conversion kit for this crib model, but you can use any full-size bed rails. The front-end assembly of the crib will become the headboard of the full-size bed. The foot-end assembly, or drop side of the crib, can be used optionally as the footboard.
