Bonavita Lifestyle Crib Conversion Vent & PSA

Very annoying. We bought a mattress and today, DH tried to convert DSs Bonavita crib to a bed. We had bought the conversion piece quite awhile ago, when we got the crib. The booklet that comes with the crib very clearly says "for twin bed conversion" in several places.

Guess what? We needed a full mattress.

A few other things were wrong with it. The holes were drilled on the wrong side of one rail, so DH had to drill new holes on the right side. Wood was split in one spot on another piece so DH glued it. The bright spot is that Buy Buy Baby offered us a credit on my credit card for the conversion kit without much of a hassle at all.

Now DH is at the mattress store, buying a frame. DS is excited about the bed, so we'll just leave the mattress and boxspring on the floor for tonight.

I know it's not the end of the world, but this sucked up most of the day and was really annoying. So if anyone has this brand crib and your instructions say twin bed, double check with the company.

We converted my DD bonavita a few months ago and had no problem. I;m sorry to hear that you did but gad the store refunded you. The only way any crib would convert to a twin is if it was a mini convertible crib. I have converted 2 cribs so far and love them.
