Wooden bed rails are a fixed bed rail. Once installed beneath the mattress the bed rail cannot fold down. These bed rails provide a cot-like appearance and provide the safety of a cot, yet allow your child to climb in and out of bed independently. Bed Rails are designed to keep infants safe from falling out of bed whilst they sleep, and help young children to progress from a cot to a bed with ease.Bed rails for toddlerscan make the transition from a cot to a bed much easier on both parents and children, providing a familiar, secure sleep environment for children and reassurance to parents that their child is unable to fall out of bed.

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. Wooden bed guards come as a standard length or extra wide. An extra wide bed guard will cover a greater stretch of the bed and it’s simply a personal choice as to whether you choose standard or extra wide based on how enclosed you wish your child to be. It is however recommended that there is a clear 25cm gap between each end of the bed and the bed rail.

Installation and Safety Guidelines I HAVE A LIGHT WEIGHT, THIN MATTRESS:if you have a slim, light weight mattress which is often the case with cot beds and toddler beds, make sure that the mattress is substantial enough to hold a bed rail in place. Consider a smaller bed rail such as a Standard Mesh Bed Guard. text": "Before positioning your bed guard, it is important to ensure you are fitting a suitable bed rail for the bed and mattress intended. With all bed rails and child bed guards, it is recommended that there is at least a clear 25cm gap between each end of the bed and the bed rail.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." 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. A bed rail prevents young children from falling out of bed and potentially hurting themselves, and it provides peace of mind for parents at bedtime. Should your little ones manage to climb out of bed during the night, our range of baby gates and room dividers will keep them away from any potentially dangerous areas of the home. 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.

How do toddler bed rails work?

text": "Sometimes your toddler’s transition from a cot to a bed can seem daunting, as they suddenly have the freedom to climb out of the bed when they choose, or potentially roll out of the bed while they sleep. A bed guard deters and prevents young children from rolling out of the bed and saves them from possible bumps and bruises in the night. A bed rail is not designed to prevent children from climbing out of bed, it simply keeps them safe while they sleep. 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. Mesh bed guards are made from a strong and sturdy mesh encased within a metal frame. These bed rails are a lightweight, folding option that is versatile with its 90 degrees fold down mechanism. It also comes complete with a carry bag for ease when travelling."

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.

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. Wooden bed rails are less suited for travelling, they are heavier than mesh bed rails and not the best option for taking with you on holiday.There are two main types of bed rails available: wooden bed guards and mesh bed rails. Wooden bed guards are designed for single and double beds, as well as cot beds. They provide a sturdy and durable barrier to keep children safe while they sleep.

Wooden bed guards come in various lengths and heights to suit different bed sizes and mattress depths.

No! It is not advised that you install a bed rail to the foot or head of the bed. Bed guards should be installed across the sides of a bed only. text": "Children’s bed rails are recommended for use between the ages of 18 months through to five years. From the age of five, a bed guard should be taken down. This is because beyond the age of five children are stronger and their weight is heavier, meaning bed guards may not be able to sustain the weight, strength, and curiosity of an older child. However, some children may benefit beyond the age of five with a bed rail installed should they be prone to sleeping near the edge of their bed or if they are active sleepers and move frequently in their sleep. Although moving from a cot to a toddler bed is an exciting milestone, there is no reason to rush the transition unless your child is endangering themselves by trying to climb out of their cot. It's often better to keep them in their cot for as long as possible. 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.
