Function Description:
The Colby 4-in-1 Convertible Crib serves as a versatile nursery product that transitions through different stages of a child's development. Initially, it functions as a standard crib, providing a safe sleeping environment for infants. The "4-in-1" designation implies its ability to convert into at least three other bed types: a toddler bed, a daybed, and a full-size bed. The manual also details the assembly of a trundle drawer, which is integrated into the crib's base, offering convenient storage. The crib is designed for safety, with specific instructions and warnings regarding mattress size, fastener security, and placement to prevent strangulation and falls.

Usage Features:
- Convertibility: The crib's primary feature is its 4-in-1 design, allowing it to adapt as the child grows. The manual explicitly mentions the toddler bed conversion, which requires a separate kit (Item# 11999, M11999 - sold separately). It also notes that the front panel should be kept for full-size bed conversion, implying a full-size bed option.
- Mattress Support Adjustment: The mattress support (Part I) can be adjusted to different height levels. For infants, it can be set higher for easier access, and for toddlers who can pull themselves to a standing position, it must be set to the lowest position to prevent falls. The manual emphasizes installing the mattress support with the flat side up and ensuring it is level.
- Trundle Drawer: An integrated trundle drawer (Parts J-1, K-1, M-1, N-1, O-1, P) provides additional storage space beneath the crib, enhancing functionality and organization in the nursery.
- Safety Features: The crib includes extra bolts (H3) to close accessible holes, preventing a child's fingers from getting stuck. The manual strongly advises using these bolts for safety.
- Assembly: Requires two people for assembly. Tools needed (not included) are a Phillips head screwdriver. An Allen wrench (H9) is included in the hardware box. Power screwdrivers should not be used.
- Product Registration: Users are encouraged to register their product online at www.cartersbydavinci.com/registrations for easier warranty and replacement part requests.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Checks: Parents should regularly check all components to ensure they are properly and securely in place, especially fasteners, bolts, and joints.
- Fastener Security: All screws and bolts must be fastened securely, but not overtightened, to prevent injury and maintain structural integrity. Loose fasteners can trap parts of a child's body or clothing.
- Part Replacement: Do not use the crib if any parts are missing, damaged, or broken. Do not substitute parts. Contact Carter's by DaVinci for replacement parts and instructional literature.
- Teething Rails: If equipped with teething rails, they should be replaced if damaged, cracked, or loose.
- Refinishing: If refinishing the furniture, use only a non-toxic finish specified for children's products. Refinishing with other products will void the warranty.
- Cleaning: Do not scratch or chip the finish. Avoid abrasive chemicals. Clean with mild soap on a damp, soft rag, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
- Storage: Pine woods exchange moisture with the air. It is best to place furniture away from heating or air-conditioning vents. Prolonged direct exposure to harsh sunlight can discolor the finish; spills should be blotted immediately.
- Disassembly: Do NOT remove any wood screws during the normal disassembly of the crib.

The warranty requires proof of purchase and covers new units with original packaging and ownership, not used, secondhand, or demo models.
