Valencia Nursery Set: Cot to Toddler Bed Guide

Quick Answer

To convert the Silver Cross Valencia cot to a toddler bed, remove the front drop-side rail and attach the included conversion rail—no extra kit needed. Always lower the mattress to the lowest height first for stability.

Conversion Steps: Cot to Toddler Bed

1. 1. Remove the Mattress and Bedding: Take out the mattress, sheets, and any bumper pads. Set them aside in a clean area. Common mistake: Forgetting to remove all bedding can snag or misalign the conversion rail.
2. 2. Lower the Mattress Base to the Lowest Setting: Remove the mattress support board and reattach it at the lowest set of holes. Ensure all screws are tight. Checkpoint: The base must be level and securely fastened before proceeding.
3. 3. Remove the Front Drop-Side Rail: Unscrew the front rail (the one that drops down) from both sides. Keep the screws in a safe place for future use if needed. Common mistake: Trying to remove the rail without first detaching the drop-side mechanism can damage the hardware.
4. 4. Attach the Conversion Rail: Locate the included conversion rail (usually stored under the cot base). Align it with the screw holes on the open side and fasten securely. Checkpoint: The rail should sit flush and not wobble—tighten all screws evenly.
5. 5. Replace the Mattress and Test Stability: Put the mattress back in place. Gently push on all sides of the bed to ensure no movement or loose parts. Final check: If the bed rocks or feels unstable, recheck all connections before letting your child use it.
