Has anyone transitioned a drop side crib into a stationary?

I ordered the parts to fix it, but it still worries me.  It ought to be ok if we permanently attach the front to the sides, right?

Who'd you order it from? We have a drop side that I'd like to use again, but wasn't sure what to do.

Rock chalk by the way!! My husband & I are both alums

Yay a fellow Jayhawk!  

I google searched for the "crib name" and "recall" and it lead me to the manufacturer website.  It was free to order the parts for the retrofitting.  We will see how it works out I guess!

We did-I was nervous about it but once we did it I realized its SO study and I"m not worried in the least about it.

Another fellow Kansan here, though not a Jayhawk = )  Anyways, we switched ds's dropside to a permanent one with the kit directly from the company and there was no way that thing was going anywhere.  He uses it as a toddler bed now, so we are having issues deciding whether to buy another crib, or switch ds to a bigger bed.  Ugh.

We did.  Somehow my husband reversed the brackets so it doesn't drop down now.  We didn't order the parts to convert it.  Even when it dropped down, it was really hard to do and it made it through 2 kids.  I'm not worried about it.
