Side crib assembly

Sometimes there are situations when it becomes difficult to assemble a crib for a child, but nothing is clear in the instructions. Therefore, you have to look for help on the Internet.

How to assemble a crib with a falling side

Before starting work, you need to choose a design. It all depends on the amount of free space, the age of the child and the budget. If there is not enough space in the room, and the baby is newborn, an ordinary small cradle will do. If the room has the necessary space, and the child is older than 1 year, you can choose a design with additional nightstands and drawers. As soon as the child grows up, the bedside table can be removed. This will increase the place to sleep.
Important points.
The crib consists of the following parts:

1. Frame (back and lower sides).
2. Headboard.
3. A place to sleep.
4. Support elements (wheels or legs).
5. Pendulum.
6. Mounts

All parts listed above are sold ready-made. They only need to be collected. Sometimes dressers, drawers, and mechanisms that adjust the height are included in the model.

Important points

Do not forget to prepare a place for the crib. It is recommended to cover it with a light cloth, so as not to lose small parts, and not to scratch the floor.

Care must be taken when assembling the crib. If the pendulum system is poorly fixed, the child may be injured.

Cots with a pendulum stand a little more expensive than usual. The final price depends on the size and number of additional parts.

Attention! Children's beds are made of environmentally friendly material (wood, plastic). Therefore, they do not harm health.

Step-by-step assembly instructions

To collect the structure, the following tools are needed:

1. Screws.
2. Screwdriver.
3. Caps for cogs.

To assemble the bed, we need:

1. First, the frame is going to. To do this, install the side panels on the legs, and screw the back panel to them with the help of screws (2 on each side).
2. After collecting the frame, you can set a place to sleep. It can be either an integral element, or in the form of boards that are fixed with a cord. We mount it with screws.
3. We find the grooves on the sides of the bed. We fix on them the front of the bed. After that, several additional mounts should be installed in place for sleeping.
4. Now we need to turn the structure over and install the support elements. If there are necessary grooves, just insert the wheels into them. If not, you can make a support in the form of arcs.
5. We install all the additional parts of the bed (drawers, bedside table), if they are included.
6. Set the pendulum. To do this, attach the plates to the sides of the structure.
7. We install plugs so that the screws do not scratch the child.
8. We fix the bed.

Attention! In the finished design, there should be instructions for collecting the bed. It will help, if it is not clear what to do next.

Making a bed for a child with your own hands is quite simple. You need to do everything according to the instructions.
