Learn how to convert your Leander Classic crib into a junior bed. Step-by-step instructions, tips, and product facts to extend the life of your baby's bed.

Quick answer

Yes, the Leander Classic crib converts into a junior bed by lowering the mattress base, removing the side bars and end panels, and adding the optional junior kit.

Why convert to a junior bed?

Converting your Leander Classic crib to a junior bed extends its use from infancy through toddlerhood. The iconic oval shape provides a familiar, cozy sleep environment that helps your child adjust to a bigger bed without feeling overwhelmed.

When should you start the conversion?

Most children are ready for a junior bed between 18 months and 3 years, when they can climb out of the crib or show interest in a bigger bed. Watch for signs like attempting to escape or outgrowing the crib lengthwise.

Conversion steps

1. Lower the mattress base
When your baby starts to sit or stand, lower the mattress to the lowest position to prevent climbing out. This is a simple adjustment using the pre-drilled holes on the crib frame.
2. Remove the side bars and end panels
Once your child is ready for a junior bed, remove the front side bar and the two end panels. The remaining side bar and back panel stay in place to form a safe, open bed frame. Keep the removed parts for future use if you plan to convert back to a crib.
3. Install the junior kit (optional)
Purchase the separate junior kit, which includes a support leg and a safety rail. Attach the leg to the open side of the bed and the rail to prevent rolling out. This completes the conversion to a junior bed. Check that the junior kit is compatible with your specific Leander Classic model (Sleep White or Whitewash).
