Cannot find conversion kit
I have the Grace Benton 4-in-1 crib but like many other commenters before me, am unable to find a conversion kit for purchase.

Don't buy for longterm use!
Bought this when my daughter was first born in hopes of using it throughout the years. The paint has chipped horribly &, now that she's older, I'm unable to find the toddler rail anywhere! Feels like a waste of money since I'm going to need to buy her a whole other bed...

Don’t buy if you tend to convert
I wish I had read the other reviews prior to purchasing, ready to convert to a toddler bed and now realizing that’s not possible, missing the pieces to do so, and can’t purchase them anywhere. Disappointed to say the least.

Misleading.
I purchased this for my daughter 2 years ago thinking that it would last her for a few years. unfortunately this does not include anything for the conversation to toddler bed. It is literally just a crib. Extremely disappointed.

Misleading
To reiterate the other negative reviews: There is not a way to convert this crib to a toddler bed without buying a conversion kit that the manufacturer implied was unnecessary in the ads. I cannot find the kit in any event, and I’d need two. Moreover, the top rails shed paint when my twins were teething, which is unacceptable. What a disappointment from Graco.

Loved the crib...misleading description
This crib has worked great for our babies. The quality has held up well and construction and maintenance have been easy. Unfortunately they are at the point where they need a toddler bed and we are realizing we were mislead by the product description. We are unable to convert without purchasing additional products which we have been unable to find. It is disappointing to have invested in what we thought was a product from a reputable brand and now to have to invest again in order to have a safe sleeping space for our toddlers. Crib: 5 stars. Convertible aspect: 0 stars.

Same issue - not a true toddler bed
This crib has served us well and we haven’t had any issues until now. We’re on the cusp of the toddler bed transition so just like everyone else has said, it doesn’t truly convert to a toddler bed. Kinda defeats the point as this isn’t a true 4-in-1.

Like other reviews here, I am disappointed to see that the parts to convert to toddler bed are not included. The marketing is misleading and extremely disappointed in Graco.

I too thought the toddler conversion was apart of the purchase. Very misleading as THAT'S the reason I spent more money on this than other crib choices

Good Crib Awful Toddler Bed
I wish I would have read the reviews about converting it to a Toddler Bed. I agree with everyone that commented, just awful, metal bar is exposed, and the sides are wobbly. I agree this is VERY Misleading when you read the description.

Issues with toddler bed conversion
My mother in law bought us this crib and as a crib it works great but now that I have tried converting it to a toddler bed I'm very disappointed. The whole front part comes off to make it a toddler bed ,but there is no support rail so now the metal base where the mattress goes is exposed and the sides of the crib feel very wobbly and flimsy. I'm very upset , it does not feel safe for my toddler and when I tried to find a toddler bed rail there is none that are compatible with the crib

No Graco for me from
Wood Chipper
I purchased this bed from Amazon. It’s a beautiful bed, but the paint chips off. It came with scratches. The problem is when I went and picked up my grandbaby she had white stuff all over her mouth. She has only been in the crib a few times when this happened. I looked all over the crib and if you clean it and your fingernail rubs against paint it flakes off. I contacted Graco and they were very nice. They told me to get in touch with Stork Craft for the warranty. They are the rudest people. First, they said they would replace the front part. When telling them which parts I wasn't in front of the bed and ordered a part that didn't go to the bed. They rudely emailed back and said they weren't covering any of it. I'll never buy another Graco baby bed again, because of the unprofessional customer service department.

Beautiful crib BUT dissapointing
The description is misleading. Like many other parents I too believed I would have received the whole conversion kit, I did not. And now it is impossible to find the matching toddler rail! It's a shame since graco has a great reputation but this is just disheartening.

Useless Product
Let’s try this again, since Graco seems to censor honest reviews that point out their flaws. I'll echo all of the other comments that this "4-in-1 Convertible" crib is extremely misleading. Especially since the piece to convert it into a toddler bed does NOT exist. Since I can't convert this bed, I now have to buy an entirely new one.

This was great as a crib but now my son is at the point for conversion to toddler and the pieces are no where to be found. Bought this crib because of the 4 in 1 conversion but that is not the case. Upset and disappointed at what was at first great but now a unnecessary headache.

Not actually convertible.
Just like everyone else, purchased this with the intent that it would grow with my son. It does not convert to a safe toddler bed, there is no bottom rail to attach the safety rails to. This is a crib and a daybed, but certainly not a toddler bed.

Ugh!
Love this as a crib, but like many of the other reviews as soon as I went to convert it everything changed.
I ordered the roll guards or whatever you want to call them and when I went to attach them I realized that the lower support bar comes off and there's no way to replace it and no way to attach anything to keep my toddler from rolling out onto the floor. I have multiples and the other version I have converted easily because the frame appears to be totally different.
I absolutely cannot just leave my 2-year-olds with an open side to his bed, he will roll right off.
Certainly do not purchase this if you are hoping to have this grow with your child.

Disappointed
As everyone else has connected, the crib was fine until we needed to covert it to the toddler bed. The packaging was very misleading and the crib does NOT include the necessary toddler rail. Not only does it not include it, as the packaging indicates, but I can't find the rail to purchase anywhere! The few Graco universal toddler rails that I have found specifically state that they are not compatible with the regular Benton crib. I'm really not sure what to do at this point, as my son is exceeding the height limit, but I need a safety rail on the front.

Good crib but not convertible.
Good crib but cannot figure how to convert to a toddler bed. As other reviewers mentioned, there isn't a conversion kit available that we can find. This worked fine as a crib, but we would not have bought it if we knew it couldn't convert as advertised.

Should've read these reviews first!
I was getting ready to convert this crib into a toddler bed for my daughter and came here to get the instructions on how to do that only to find out that it doesn't actually turn into a toddler bed! This is so incredibly misleading smh.

Not what it says it is
This was ok as a crib but when it comes to being a toddler bed it says in the instructions that the stretcher bar is used like it is included… it’s not included.. I actually don’t even see holes for where you could secure it in…… what am I to do now? It’s very flimsy and just an open front… graco this is not what I ordered

For one the paint chips really easily. It was chipping just from leaning over the sides to put my son it it and now I find him with paint chips around his mouth. But the most misleading part is advertised as a 4 in 1 but doesn't come with any of the parts to make it such nor can you buy the parts anywhere. I 100% would never buy this crib again.

Conversion Kit Nonexistent
As the other reviews stated, Graco falsely claims that the crib will grow with your baby, when its does no such thing. The conversion kits are non-existant. We had 2 babies in a row and our youngest is now ready for a toddler bed, but Graco left is high and dry. i wish I would have checked the reviews prior to my purchase.

Ok for price
It looks nice for the price but very flimsy and directions not very clear for assembly. The panel on the tall piece is very thin, slides in on sides. I would have rather spent a little more and got a better product. Railings are thin and a couple had small chips. Overall quality is why I gave it 3 stars.

I bought this product 2 years ago after LOTS of research. I was so happy initially and wish-listed the toddler rail and bed extension since it wasn’t needed for- well a newborn. The extension products have now shown as “no longer available” and cannot be found anywhere. Considering this product is bought specifically for long term and was $200+ when I bought it- I feel like this was the biggest waste of time, money and advertising.

Too loud for my child
I was expecting a little more from this company and will certainly be expecting a refund. This bed is more creaky and loud than your grandma's back porch door. Any amount of weight shifting on it results in my daughter waking up.
