Safetots Extra Tall Bed Rail, White 140cm Wide x 60cm Tall, Toddler Bed Guard For Safety, Secure Child Bed Rail

Product Information

A more versatile bed rail is the mesh bed rail. Mesh bed rails are lightweight and portable, and with their simple fold down design, they are a great choice for taking on your travels. Mesh bed rails benefit from a 90 degrees fold down mechanism, enabling easier access to your toddler when getting them in and out of bed. text": "It is recommended that a baby under the age of 18 months should sleep in a cot and not a bed with a bed rail. A cot provides the safest and most secure environment for your baby to sleep, as the fully enclosed frame enables your baby to sleep safely without falling from the bed or being able to climb in and out of the bed unsupervised. If you are planning holidays or family visits, Travel Bed Guard category offers portable and compact solutions. For larger beds, we haven’t forgotten about you. Our Double Bed Guard and King Size Bed Guard collections can help you ensure that everyone in your household enjoys a safe night’s sleep, no matter what size bed they’re using. Installation and Safety Guidelines 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. 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.

Unlike mesh bed guards, our wooden bed rails do not feature the 90 degrees fold down mechanism. A wooden bed rail once fitted holds one position only. Wooden bed rails are not recommended for inflatable beds, upper bunk beds, or cots, but are suited to single beds, double beds, king, and queen beds. Mesh bed rails are recommended as the best option for travelling due to their lightweight and portable design, easy fold-down mechanism, and compatibility with most beds and mattresses. Bed guard rails are essential for ensuring the safety of your toddler while they sleep. By choosing the right bed rail for your child’s bed, you can provide a secure and comfortable sleep environment. Whether you opt for a wooden bed guard or a mesh bed rail, the important thing is to prioritise your child’s safety and choose a bed rail that is compatible with their bed and mattress. Sleep peacefully knowing that your little one is protected throughout the night. ReferencesConsider factors such as compatibility with bed size and mattress, child’s age, and specific needs such as extra tall and wide options for double beds or sunken mattresses in cot beds. Some mesh bed guards feature elastic straps that stretch around the mattress to secure the bed guard in place. As standard bed guards are not designed for double beds, these straps will not stretch to fit across a double mattress. However, the weight of a double mattress alone will safely and securely keep the bedrail in place. Bed guards can be fitted either side of your double bed if required."

text": "If your child’s bed is against a wall, you will only need to fit one bed guard to the exposed side of the bed. Should your child's bed be in the centre of their bedroom, a bed guard fitted to both sides of the bed is advised. Bed rails simply aid in preventing your child from falling out of their bed as they make the transition from a cot to a bed and therefore if in the middle of a room, double bed rails are advised." Wooden bed guards and bed rails fold out to a 90-degree angle. The base frame of the bed guard then slips under the mattress and the weight of a mattress keeps the bed guard in place. text": "Bed guards and bed rails are not designed specifically for double beds although some bed guards are suitable. If your double bed has an extra deep mattress you may wish to consider investing in an extra tall and extra wide bed rail. This is considered the most suitable and safest bed guard for double beds. An extra tall bed rail will provide you with additional height and therefore greater safety for your child. Look at how the rail will attach to the bed. Some can slide around, so if you’re concerned about safety, choose one that either uses a strap or screws to clamp firmly onto the bed. A bed rail is a must to ensure your toddler is safe while they are sleeping and dreaming. Bed guard rails will allow your child and yourself to rest without interrupting everyone’s sleep time.

From The Manufacturer

Choose the right type:When choosing toddler bed rails, make sure you choose the right type for your needs. Some bed rails are universal and can work with almost any bed type, while others are designed for specific bed sizes. Make sure you choose a bed rail that is appropriate for your child’s age and size.

text": "A bed rail is a safety barrier for beds that enables you and your child to sleep safely. Bed rails prevent your infant from falling out of bed in the night and keeps them safe from potential injuries as they make the transition from a cot to a bed. text": "All Safetots branded mesh bed guards are compatible with cots and cot beds. As the hinge mechanism is featured to the side of each gate panel, the slim base frame can fit safe and snug beneath the mattress. Other bed guard brands may feature the hinge mechanism to the base of the frame making them unsuitable for a sunken mattress, as the hinge mechanism will not be able to lie flush with the base of the bed. At some point, it will be time for your toddler to move from the crib to a bed, but that move can bring worry for parents. You won’t want your child to roll out of bed in the night, but without the safety of the crib’s high sides, there are no guarantees.

Where should I position the bed guard?

Baby expert Dean Smith also gave us some top tips to ensure that once you've bought a bed guard, you install and use it safely. He says: Some parents may take comfort in having a bed guard in place for longer than the recommended age of five, and as each child's development is individual and unique to them, the decision of when to remove a child safety gate can be down to a parent’s discretion."
