Converting a crib to a bed.....Need Help

It converts to a full size bed right? Why are we having so much trouble attaching the headboard. The screws don't line up and I feel like the headboard is a bit too big for the full frame yet too small for a queen frame. I need help.

JUst wanted to see if you figured it out yet - wish I Could help.

Is there supposed to be a conversion kit that you use? I know my sister needed to order this seperately from Behr's.

I think they convert to a twin size bed.
Are you working with a twin mattress, or a full mattress/frame?



Twin 39" x 75" (also known as single)
Most common for childrens' rooms, Daybeds, Trundle units and hideaways.

Double 54" x 75" (also known as Full)

Double beds are only 15" wider than a Twin bed. This won't leave much elbow room for 2 adults (each will have only 27" of width vs. 39" in a Twin bed). Too, a Double bed is only 75" long which may be too short for some adults. Approx. width per person: 27"

Sarah's converts from crib to toddler bed and then to a full size. I had to get a separate conversion kit when I bought the crib so that it would be able to convert to full size, but we haven't done it yet. It's still a toddler bed.
