Has anyone coverted their Touchwood cot from a cot to a bed? Do you "have" to buy a junior bed end or can you just take both sides off and not buy the extra bit? ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Think it depends on what model you have. We had two Touchwoods, first one came with safety rails and removeable legs so all ready to convert into a bed, but they don't make that model anymore. I think with the newer models you might need to purchase additional ends? ------------- Two little girls under 2!

I got mine about the time you got yours Flissty, and the information I got with it stated that it would convert from bassinet to cot to toddler bed to day lounge (suitable to seat two adults). No mention of needing anything extra - but I've started wondering if I could get safety rails to fit it.... ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Yeah, I have a newer model and think that I can remove the movable side and have it as a day bed.
To convert it to a real toddler bed I think I need a different bed head. Although it is possible to remove both sides of the cot at the moment, I think the two ful size ends would put too much stress on the screws if they weren't supported by anything. |

Yeah, that's my concern. Especially if Dan started jumping on it.
FS - I also don't remember them saying anything about needing an extra bedhead in the instructions (ours is slightly older though - secondhand). Hmmph, there goes my "save money by converting it into a bed" plan. Maybe we'll just have it as a day bed and he'll have to deal with it! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

The pictures of them as a bed have one shorter end (the foot end), so I would imagine you would need to purchase that -------------
