28 year old Jenny Lind Crib

Other than the old Trial and Error way, there are some resouces on line. It is easy to figure out how to construct the crib without having the original instructions. You should be able to put the crib together within one hour. It may take longer if you have to search for parts. Check the link below and I bet you'll find some helpful info! By the way, make sure the crib you are setting up was not recalled or pulled from the market for safety reasons!

I haven't done anything yet, but I'm not paying to receive advise - especially $20.00 - I'll find it on my own.
thank you

Hi there http://www.milliondollarbaby.com/help.milliondollarbaby.com/mdb_ver_phhx_nyhw.pdf Those are the instructions for a Jenny Lind crib, the drop bar would be very similar to what's on that document. hope this helps :)

Go to https://plweb.evenflo.com/replacement_parts.aspx
Enter model number and year of manufacture.  (There is a help link on the page to get that info if it is not obvious.)

having trouble putting together a 20-year-old crib for a grandbaby. The Release Lock Slide side and the bar below it I think are the problems. Can't the the slide to work

I need the 2 gate shows for the drop side and the hooks to hold the mattress spring. Please help!!!!

You can download your manual on Evenflo's website under Product Support, then Replacement Parts.

i believe that the crib is one of the few that can not be, but I would definitely think about a twin bed since he is two and skip the toddler bed since both my kids were in their toddler beds for less then a year save your self the hassle and money get a twin bed, and for now just put the top mattress on and store the box springs (or merely wait to buy them until needed)

The springs (I am presuming you mean the little springs, not the springs for the mattress placement) go on the little rod that the side of the crib slides up and down on. They should be at the bottom of the slide bar. This is to keep it from just dropping with a bang and creating injury.

Do you have a friend with a child/baby crib that you could take a photos of, use it as directions? Sometimes the simplest thing in trying to remember the order of putting it together is befuddling.

Another idea, see if there is a store that carries that crib, tell them you don't have the instructions to reput it back together, they may take it from the box, zerox it for you for free. Unless you have a brand name, googling won't get you the proper instructions either. My babies did not use a crib that had sides up and down.

You have to take it apart.
