ABSTRACT:
A convertible bed assembly for providing a crib, toddler bed, or twin bed arrangement and alternatively a pair of twin or bunk beds. A pair of headboard and footboard assemblies each have separable upper and lower sections mounted together through coupling hardware to provide a crib assembly having one stationary crib side rail and one drop side rail. Motifs are releasably coupled to the top of the headboard and footboard assemblies through hardware. Any one of a variety of different motifs may be mounted upon the headboard and footboard assemblies. The crib is converted into a toddler bed by removing the lower sections of the headboard and footboard assemblies and replacing the fixed and drop sides of the crib with toddler safety rails joined to the upper sections and which are preferably stored beneath the crib posture board to provide convenient access at the time of conversion. The drop side and fixed side hardware is utilized in a unique fashion to mount each of the toddler safety rails. The crib or toddler bed arrangement is readily converted into a conventional twin bed having a headboard or a pair of twin or bunk beds through the use of conversion side pieces which mount directly to upper sections of the headboard and footboard assemblies and have side rails bolted thereto for forming a single twin bed, or conversion side pieces which are mounted to the upper and lower sections to form two twin beds or bunk beds each having a headboard and a footboard, or conversion side pieces and twin bed frame bolted thereto to provide two identical twin beds without footboards.
