Loved this crib until my child became a toddler

This crib feels great, looks great. I was very excited about this crib when I purchased it for my first child. However, now that she is almost 2 we decided to convert it to a toddler bed. Big mistake. The guard rail that comes with it is mostly decorative and the only purpose I think it serves is to keep the mattress stable. It will not prevent your child from rolling off the bed onto the floor and possibly hitting their head or mouth on the drawers. I talked to customer service and they had no solution. They do not recommend bed rails from stores since those require a mattress and box spring which this crib does not have. I'm very disappointed by this development and the fact that Storkcraft has no solution to this problem.
