BabyDan Wooden Bed Guard (White)

Product Information

The transition from cot bed to a bed without enclosed sides is one of the many developmental milestones your child will achieve. At this stage which occurs somewhere towards the age of 18 months, your toddler is likely to be attempting to climb over the cot sides, making this type of bed no longer a safe option. Place the bed guard half-way down the bed so that it sits in the middle. This guarantees the safest place, as it prevents your toddler from rolling out whilst sleeping at either end of the bed.

Child specific bedrails are recommended up to age 5 as they are designed and tested to support a certain maximum weight. Your child is likely to have learnt the art of sleeping away from the edge by this age, but also may be capable of undoing any bedrail fixing and becoming heavier than the tested weight, thereby creating a potential hazard greater than falling onto the floor. The bed guard must not be used as a substitute for a cot as it cannot provide the same level of safety. Do not use the bed guard in cribs or on sleeping surfaces placed more than 60 cm above the floor 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.All Safetots’ bedguards have been tested and comply with the British Standard 7972:2001+A1:2009 when fitted in accordance with the instructions. Whilst a standard bed is the next step, there remains a risk of falling from a height, particularly during sleep should your child roll and wriggle towards the edge. A bedguard is a popular solution to prevent your sleeping tot going bump in the night, whilst giving them the freedom to get out of bed unassisted. The design provides a barrier along the exposed edge of the mattress with gaps at either end so that the child can safely get in and out of bed independently. Should the bed be positioned away from walls and have two exposed sides, a second bed guard may be safely secured to the other side. In addition, a bed rail retains the safe familiarity of cot sides which will help many children adapt to the change and supports restful sleep.

Made of metal legs, plastic material, and a fabric panel, this makes one of the best toddler bed rails that you can invest in mainly because of its durability and easy-to-follow instructions on how to set up. Since it can easily be transported, it is something that you can bring for overnight stays and fun weekends out of town. In addition to this, it can also fit the interior of any home.Wooden bed rails are ideal for children from the age of 18 months up to five years, however it is entirely up to the parent how long a bed rail should stay in place. It is intended as a transitionary tool to help little ones get used to sleeping in a bed. It helps to prevent wrigglers from falling out too! Our stair gates and room dividers can also keep children safe from dangerous areas of the home if they do wake up in the night.
