One way is to remove one side of the crib with a screwdriver and attach a premade guardrail in its place.
Cot that turns into double bed.
If your child s starting to outgrow their crib you can turn it into a toddler bed in a couple of hours.
We have a double bed that i would like to turn into a massive cot for our 9 month old.
Visually this turns the bed sideways and into a daybed.
You could easily place an old door behind the bed to create a low visual backrest.
The backrest could be as simple as a wooden door.
I would like to effectively have a cot style side rail and end rail which is say 1 meter tall just like a cot so that he cant climb over it he climbs over everything.
If the guardrail is about 2 3 of the bed s length your child can get in and out of bed on their own while having a barrier to stop.
I am certain someone can come up with a way to turn your old cot into a double bed headboard.
Then center the bed under the cot.
A standard door is 80 inches tall which when placed on its side is only 5 inches wider than the 75 inch twin sized bed.
There are walls along 2 sides so i need to blank off the other 2 sides.
This would be of course after cleaning thoroughly.
Pottery barn have designed a bed that converts from a cot to a double bed the bed comes with extra attachments that will last a child into their teens the three in one convertible cot is made of.
