Bed rails Does anyone know how I would go back getting the bed rails to make this crib into a full size bed.  I can't even find a phone number to call to ask the Delta company, when I asked at Babies R Us they told me I would have to go to a bed store, I have called several and they have no Idea what I am talking about.  Please help me at least know where to start. Thank you. Scoobytrec

I can't offer the exact answer, but hopefully my suggestions will be helpful...

Converting the crib to a full-size bed should actually be a fairly simple process of detaching the 4 sides that make the crib, and replacing the 2 short sides with the full-size bed rails that were sold separately in a conversion kit. The 2 long sides of the crib become the headboard and footboard of the full-size bed.

Unfortunately, it's only a simple process if you already have the full-size conversion kit bed rails. And since Morigeau-Lepine went out of business, they aren't making any more conversion kits. If you don't have the full-size bed rails, then this could be quite difficult.

It's possible that some stores that used to sell Morigeau-Lepine cribs might still have a conversion kit hidden somewhere in the back of their stock room or warehouse. You could try calling around to a few of your local stores to ask if they would check for you. It's a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

If you have the rails, or are lucky enough to find them, then it should be as simple as locating the screws that hold the crib sides together, removing them (most likely with an appropriatly sized hex-key,) and putting the screws back through the headboard and footboard into the bed rails. (I'm really just assuming that it works the same as the Babi Italia conversion.) If no screws are visible, or if removing them doesn't detach the crib sides, then they are probably also held together with locking bed rail fasteners. To release the fasteners, remove any visible screws, then push upwards on the short side rail while pushing down on the long side rail. You might have to tap the rail up with a rubber mallot to get it moving.

If you don't have the full-size bed rails, and you can't find them anywhere, your only option may be to build them yourself, or find a woodworker to build them for you. Search online for "Bed Rail Fasteners" and you'll see several options for hardware, but they might require modifying the headboard and footboard as well. Full-size matresses are 75 inches long, so you'll want the length of your rails to accomodate (ours are 77 inches long.)

I hope I've been helpful. Good luck!

I know its been a while but if you're still looking for the toddler rail or even the full size bed rails call Lajobi (the manufacturer) at 888-266-2848 or email them at [email protected]. I bought this same crib in 2006 at Baby Depot and I ordered the toddler bed rail through them in 2009 for around $60. Now I'm ready for the full size bed rails but the crib has been discontinued. The manufactuer has a compatible bed rail in the same tea stain for $149 plus shipping.

You can find Delta soho 5 in 1 crib conversion kit on amazon. Click here Amazon com Delta rails and take a look. I hope this was helpful. cheers

we are having the same problem. My husband found this number online that another user said she used. I guess it took her months to find it because with the company being out of business the 800 number that came with the crib isn't working. I've yet to call he just called me with it. the company is out of canada and is said to have the rails or able to get the rails. Its Else Graco, you need your model number and color. 1800-667-8184.

As far as I know that is one of the draw backs to this particular crib is that you can't purchase a rail for the toddler bed specifically made for the bed. I'm still trying to locate the full size bed frame for it. I knew it was a purchase separately, but I didn't know if it was one that a general bed frame could go on.

Yes all i have a solution for the simplictity problem.

There is a company in Canada that has the conversion rails and other parts you are asking about. They do deliver to the US. There name is The Kiddies Store. The Ellis collection is called the Sydney.

Phone number is 1-800-755-4857

I have the same crib and it can be transformed into a toddler bed by removing the front rail and it can be transformed into a full size bed using a full size bed frame and the front and back rails of the crib.

To convert your crib to a Full Size bed you will need to purchase a set of full size bed rails (hook style for headboard and foot board). You can find this at any discount mattress store, or furniture outlet, it can range in price from $39.99 - $99.99. To install the rails you will see slots with bars on the headboard/footboard, this is where the hooks on the rails slide into. There are no bolts used to secure the rails to the headboard/footboard.

Jardine enterprises does not make a wood rail kit as was shown in some of the earlier ads for the Madison line of convertible cribs, and do not waste your time ordering the rail kit from Babies-R-Us as it is simply a metal rail kit (which you may be able to get cheaper at a local furniture/mattress store).

Use the lower daybed rail between the two front posts for the foot board. Another option for the full-size conversion is to purchase the metal rails (hook style) for a headboard only and not even bother with a foot board.

If you are still unsure of what you need to do for the full-size conversion please feel free to email me at [email protected].
