Advice on buying DaVinci full-size bed conversion kit upfront
User asks if they should buy the conversion kit now with the crib, and multiple commenters strongly advise doing so. One says: 'I have a DaVinci and 100% worth buying the conversion kit upfront. They will discontinue models and colors - if you wait the kit won't be available.' Another adds: 'Yes buy it now! Don't be like us, we have to buy a whole bed now because they don't make the conversion kit for her crib anymore.'
