Before You Start Assembly
The Peggy 3-in-1 Convertible Crib from Babyletto arrives in a large box (shipped dimensions: 60” x 43” x 7”, shipped weight: 95 lbs). It ships via UPS Ground, no signature required. Before you open the box, clear a large, flat area in the nursery where you can spread out the parts. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver and a rubber mallet (not supplied). The crib ships with a toddler bed conversion kit included, so you won't need to buy that later.
The crib is made with solid New Zealand pine wood and acacia veneered TSCA compliant engineered wood for the end panels. The finish is a non-toxic, multi-step painting and staining process that is lead and phthalate safe and exceeds ASTM International and U.S. CPSC safety standards. It is also GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meaning it has been tested for over 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs.
Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions
Download the assembly instructions from the product page (click the link in the product details). The following steps summarize the key points, but always follow the official manual for torque specs and part identification.
- Step 1: Identify all parts and hardware: Lay out the crib frame pieces, mattress support board, hardware bag, and toddler bed conversion kit. Check that you have all parts before starting. The hidden-hardware construction means visible screws will be minimal once assembled.
- Step 2: Attach the headboard and footboard: Connect the headboard and footboard to the side rails using the provided bolts and cam locks. Do not fully tighten until all pieces are aligned. The classic rounded spindles are a distinctive mid-century modern feature.
- Step 3: Install the mattress support: The Peggy has four adjustable mattress positions: 27.02”, 24.15”, 21.27”, and 18.4” from the floor. For a newborn, use the highest position. As your baby learns to sit and stand, lower the mattress height for safety. The support board slides into pre-drilled holes on the side rails.
- Step 4: Attach the toddler bed conversion kit (if using later): The toddler bed conversion kit is included in the box. If you are setting up the crib for a newborn, you do not need to install the toddler rails yet. Store them safely for future use. The crib converts to a toddler bed, daybed, and full-size bed.
- Step 5: Final alignment and tightening: Once all parts are loosely connected, check that the crib is square and level. Tighten all bolts and cam locks securely. Wipe down the crib with warm water and mild soap, then dry it completely before adding the mattress.

Safety and Care After Assembly
Once assembled, check that all hardware is tight and no parts are loose. The crib meets JPMA, CPSC, and ASTM safety standards and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified. For cleaning, use warm water and mild soap, then wipe dry. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives. If the paint chips, Babyletto can provide touch-up pens that are GREENGUARD approved.
The low-profile design makes it easy to lift your baby in and out, but always lower the mattress as they grow. The four adjustable positions help you keep the mattress at a safe height as your baby learns to sit and stand. The crib is not available to ship to Hawaii, Alaska, or Canada.
