This kit includes a wooden board to extend the bed base, some joining and fastening straps between the cot and the large bed and a foam supplement to extend the mattress.
To fit it, remove the railing and screw the wooden extension board to the main bed base.This extension is slightly outside the main structure and makes it possible to lengthen the surface where the mattress for the baby goes.
Join theco-sleeping crib to the large bed with the joining tapes from your kit. These serve to unify and anchor the two beds. They are extensible, although they are suitable for beds with a maximum width of 200 cm.
Finally,finish anchoring the crib with the wheel blocking systemthat you havepreviouslyincorporated.These reinforce the anchorage provided by the straps and, thanks to the blocking, the non-mobility of the crib is ensured when your little angel is lying down.
