Lexington Crib Instructions

The Dorel Juvenile Group manufactures a wide range of baby and children's furniture, such as the Lexington line of cribs. The Lexington line of cribs includes both drop-side and stationary-side rails, traditional cribs, and convertible cribs that change to a toddler bed and a full-sized headboard for use later in the child's life. There are some very important safety instructions that should be followed when using a Lexington crib in order to protect the child from possible health or safety hazards that may result in injury or even death.

Things You'll Need

  • Tools for assembly

Instructions

    • 1

      Check the crib closely after assembly and on a regular basis for any damaged or loose hardware, sharp points or edges, or broken or missing parts. Contact the Dorel Group for assistance and to request any broken or missing parts. Do not place child in crib until all parts are working correctly.

    • 2

      Keep soft bedding, such as blankets, pillows or stuffed animals, out of the bed, as these may present a suffocation hazard.

    • 3

      Place the crib in a safe area away from any windows, cords, blinds or drapes that the child could reach. Keep all power cords away from the crib.

    • 4

      Never suspend a string, cord, or rope on or near the crib, as this could present a strangulation hazard.

    • 5

      Place a crib mattress that is at least 27 and ¼ inches by 51 and 5/8 inches in size with a thickness of 4 to 6 inches in the crib. Crib mattresses that are too large or too small present a safety, entrapment and/or strangulation hazard.

    • 6

      Move the crib mattress down to the lowest level as soon as the child is able to stand up in the crib. Remove any objects, such as bumpers, that could be used to step on and get out of the crib.

    • 7

      Convert the crib into the toddler bed as soon as the child reaches 35 inches in height.

    • 8

      Never convert the crib to the toddler bed for children under the age of 15 months. The toddler bed is meant for children over the age of 15 months and under the size of 50 pounds.
