Instructions for a Carter's Crib

Carter's is a brand synonymous with babies and young children. The company is known for clothes but has also branched out into nursery furniture. Carter's offers several different cribs, all of which are convertible, meaning your child can use them as a crib, then a toddler bed and finally a full-sized bed. Putting the crib together is a fairly simple process, but you will need to follow the directions and make sure you inspect the crib for loose parts before placing the baby in it.

      Attach the side rails to the back rail, using two screws on each side. Secure tightly with a screwdriver.

    • 3

      Insert two dowels into each side rail and place the front rail onto the dowels. Attach the front rail to the side rails, using two screws on each side. Secure tightly. The dowels give the crib a second level of security, keeping the front rail in place.
