Lindam Easy Fit Bed Guard (Blue)

Product Information

We’re passionate about baby and child safety at home. Using stair gates, baby gates and other child safety essentials, you can create a safe environment, keeping everything harmful and out of baby’s reach. Also, consider where your toddler’s bed is in the room. Do you need two-bed guards, or is one side up against the wall? Bed guards are a nice gentle way of reassuring little ones who have moved from the four-sided safety of a cot into a single bed. If possible, put one side of your toddler's bed against the wall. This prevents the need to buy multiple bed guards, and offers a natural guard instead.

My son has just moved up to a toddler bed and I bought this to stop him from falling from the side of it. It was so easy to fix together, the instructions are easy to follow and it can be adjusted to fit different sized beds. I like that the side can fold down for easy access to the bed and the fact that it’s fabric means that it’s breathable.” And because of its popularity online, a lot of parents have given praise to the Summer Infant Grow With Me Single Bedrail. Here are some testimonials that we’ve seen: PERFECT FOR DAILY USE: the bedrail can be reclined to allow you to easily change the bed sheets and your little one to get in and out of his bed, while the mesh fabrics allow ventilation and to view the child Most bed guards are made from fabric or mesh, meaning they’re softer when your little one sleeps up against them. If you choose a fabric or mesh bed guard, always make sure they’re breathable. Wooden bed guards act like rails, very similar to the sides of a cot. They're not so popular these days, and we haven't actually featured any in our shortlist.

EASY TO CLEAN: this bedrail is made of lightweight yet durable material which can be easily washed with a damp cloth for a clean and hygienic environment Make sure the bed guard is properly fitted. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and test its strength by pushing on the guard from inside the bed. If the bed guard falls or moves, it hasn't been safely fitted, and should be fixed before your toddler uses it. Ensure bed guards are fitted correctly to avoid the danger of little ones getting trapped down the side. LINDAM BY MUNCHKIN STAIR GATES: This child safety gate with squeeze and lift handle offers easy adult opening. The extra wide walk-through stairgate is made from strong steel, with no drilling needed

Don't cover the bed guard in fabrics or clothing. This could make the bed guard dangerous, as it could prevent your child from being able to breathe when against the guard. Always make sure that the bed guard is completely breathable, and there's nothing preventing air from getting in and out.

I would always advise investing in a bed guard, as leaving the safety of a cot and going straight into a bed with no sides can sometimes lead to accidents. You can remove the guards once you think they are used to their bed and not likely to roll out. Bed guards and rails are aimed at toddlers, with the recommended age usually being from 18 months to 5 years. Many manufacturers advise not using a bed rail on a sleeping surface that is more than 60cm from the floor, so they wouldn’t be suitable for the top bed of a bunk.

Easy to use, 5-minute installation with tools provided When choosing these toddler bed guards, we considered and compared protection, comfort, ease of assembly, convenience and portability.
