Missing Rubber Stoppers on Kinderkraft Crib Dreamer No. 305
The side rail keeps falling off (on my toes!) when I lower the rail because there are no stoppers to keep it from falling out of the track. There's no part number for it. Does anyone know where I can get a rubber stopper or what I can substitute? Thanks!

Place an insert nut into the top of the stationary rail.
Place another nut into the bottom of that same rail.
Flip that rail over and put another nut into the top and bottom of it the same as you just did.
Now stick a two bolts into one side of the headboard.
Stand up the headboard and twist them bolds from the headboard into the stationary rail.
Now you want to twist two bolts through the secondary headboard and through the other side of the stationary rail. Make sure not to tighten them bolts up to much yet.
Now put the mattress support inside the crib.
Take four bolts into the top holes that are pre-drilled in the slat on the headboard and then on through to the mattress support.
Do the same now with the other slat support for the headboard.
Now do the same with the two remaining slats for the secondary headboard.
Now tighten all the bolts real well.
Put the crib on it's side.
Now your gonna stick the canisters into the legs. Tap them in with a hammer if they are a bit stubborn.
Now slide the rubber off of the lower side bracket.
Hold the front drop rail so that the push plate faces away from the crib.
Now slide that front drop rail on the tracks until it is all the way in the crib and then reinstall the rubber stoppers.
Now put the crib on it's casters and go over the crib and give it a once over and make sure everything is secure and tight.
Sounds like you may either be missing a piece of the moving side hardware, or have an item installed backwards (the moving side components are left and right orientation). We can email a copy of the assembly instructions to you as well as replace any missing or broken hardware that you may need. Please email your request to us at [email protected], and mention that is for a Kinderkraft Vermont (should be model 710 - check your label for model info), or call us at 800.205.9642 or 800.772.1041 for direct assistance.
On the bottom of the front rail that drops (the drop rail), there are two plastic tension pieces (one at either end) that engage the two fixed, bottom rail slider hardware (the long, narrow pieces screwed top-and-bottom into the lower, inside portion of the tall, upright crib ends). These tension pieces are spring loaded, and the outer edge of each one rides along the outside (i.e., the parent's side) of the two bottom metal rail guides. Their purpose is to supply outward pressure against the lower part of the drop rail - that's what you push against when you press your lower leg upon the bottom of the drop side of the crib to lower it. They insure that when up, the drop side locks safely into place. I suspect these tension pieces are your problem. It sounds like they are improperly installed. Good luck.
I have the 1999 version of KinderKraft's Crib 'N Toddler Dreamer No. 305. (model # 305NAT) I don't know how similar these are to each other, but I have used mine over two years for my son and have not had any problems. I recently converted it to the toddler daybed and I am very happy with it.
The slats on mine are 1 1/2 inches wide and the gaps between them are 2 inches wide. The standard for checking gaps is a soda can. If a standard size soda can fits between the slats of a crib, it is not safe. I don't know about any of the other features of your particular crib, but I hope this helps.
