Crib Stabilizer Bar, Steel Grey

Crib conversion kits are obnoxiously overpriced (I still don't understand why all the parts needed to use a 4 in 1 are not included in the original purchase but that is a rant for another day...). All I really wanted was a basic slab of wood to stabilize the sides a little bit so I could simply take the front section off in order to convert our crib into a toddler day bed and did not want to spend $80 on a conversion kit to do so. In comes this Dream on Me crib stabilizer bar! We have a Delta brand crib from Target so not "technically" the brand that this stabilizer bar was manufactured for but it fits and secures perfectly and the steel grey is an identical match to our crib. We now officially have a toddler day bed at half the cost of a conversion kit.

I misplaced the crib stabilizer bar from when my Dad bought the crib back in 2016, and was worried that I wouldn't be able to find that piece online because the crib was from Toys R Us specifically and they had closed down. I found this stabilizer here on Amazon and wasn't sure if it would work because the crib was an older version. To triple check, I measured where the stabilizer would go and it was the same dimension nitrates in the specification details. I bought it and it fit perfectly.

When I went to convert my daughter’s Violet 7 in 1 from crib to toddler bed (with the short toddler rail I had already purchased), I found that I needed a bottom rail to attach it to. This one doesn’t mention the Violet crib in the description, but it worked. It needed the hardware that came with the crib, not the hardware that came with he rail. Very happy.

I have 2 of these 3 in 1 cribs. They are for my grandchildren, ages 1 and 2 who are now living with me. They were purchased 2 months ago. As I am on a limited disabled widow survivors pension, and supporting the children by myself, needing to spend close to half my income in a month on 2 cribs and the converter pieces, would have blown my budget. I could only afford to convert 1 crib to the daybed, when we needed the toddler option as well. I still cant afford to convert the other crib. The crib was advertised and named a 3 in one crib. Fine print? It is NOT 3 in 1 if you have to buy a additional 40$ part to convert it to a day bed and an additional 50$ part to convert it into a toddler bed. You need both pieces, almost 100$ to convert it. Daybeds for toddlers cost 50$ Purchasing this crib with the expectation that you will be able to convert it when needed to a toddler bed, is idiotic. Call it like it is ... A POTENTIAL 3 in 1 I can buy a toddler bed for almost the cost of this ONE BAR. Idiotic. If I had researched this better, I would NOT have purchased the cribs or this bar. I would have gone with 2 toddler beds and saved myself a lot. Add to that the sides on the 'daybed' are high and NOT stable when you convert it. They are flexible and wobbly and you can't tighten the top. With active toddlers trying to scale and use the bed as a jungle gym, better to go with a toddler or twin bed

This was the quickest way to get this bar without buying the whole toddler conversion kit. It fits perfectly. It has held up to my rambunctious three year old.

Easy to put on. I still think they should include this with the crib since they show it in the pictures but as far as this item goes, it’s fine.

Bueno

Was able to convert my dream on me carson crib into a open bed for my child. Saved me about a year's worth of time before i have to shop around for a full sized toddler bed. Works but wish it was cheaper as it is essentially just a stick of wood. $15-25 would be more reasonable, hence the 3 stars for the rip off factor.
