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

Product Information

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. The four available sizes are as follows (Please note the typical bed suggestions are a guide only, and it is strongly recommended to measure your mattress size first before purchasing the correct size bed guard): 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. Safetots Mesh Bed Railsare suitable for a bed with a mattress sunken in to the frame and for beds with a wooden slatted base. Safetots Wooden Bed Railsare suitable for wooden beds with a slatted base and also beds with a sunken mattress. If you have a sunken mattress, it’s important to choose a bed rail without bulky hinges which may prevent the bed rail from fitting between the mattress and the bed frame. Make sure the bed guard is a minimum of 50cm less in length than your mattress, leaving 25cm space at the top and bottom of the mattress to avoid potential strangulation issues. Make sure the bed guard is at least 16cm taller than the height of the mattress to avoid any issues with rolling over the top of the bed rail.

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. Although unable to fold down fully, mesh bed rails fold down to an angle of 90 degrees enabling you to access the bed with ease. 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. There are several bed guards that will work with a cot bed, however, the depth of the mattress is key to ensuring there is enough weight to hold the cot bed rail in place safely. Ensure you have a good mattress that will hold the bed rail in place. Smaller bed rails such as the Safetots Narrow Mesh is a small, light-weight bed rail that would be suitable. The Safetots Narrow Mesh Bed Rail is available in a range of colours, White , Natural and Grey to match home interiors and toddler bedrooms. The Safetots Narrow Wooden Bed Rail would also be suitable for a cot bed and is a heavier option and compatible with a more substantial mattress.

How do toddler bed rails work?

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. 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. text": "Bed rails are suitable for cot beds and toddler beds and provide the safest solution for toddlers making the transition from a cot to a bed. A bed rail provides the safety of a cot by preventing your toddler from falling out of their bed yet provides them with their first steps to independence as they can climb out of bed once they wake.

Designed with additional height and length to ensure children are safe in adult beds. 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.

Wooden bed rails for toddlers provide the most solid and sturdy structure for keeping children safe whilst they sleep. 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.Meanwhile, wooden bed rails provide a strong and durable barrier for keeping children safe while they sleep at home. Plus, with their contemporary design and great choice of colours from white and natural through to grey, they’ll look great in your child’s room too." text": "Safetots bed rails range in size from a narrow 90cm in length through to 140cm in length. Choosing a bed guard with the most suitable height and length for your bed will really come down to the size of your bed and the depth of the mattress. Our bed rail buyer's guide includes step-by-step instructions for choosing the right sized bed guard for your child's bed.

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. 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. All Safetots’ bedrails provide the maximum mattress depths and lengths in the product spec information to make it easier for our customers to select one that is compatible with their child’s bed. A minimum mattress length is also supplied to make certain that there is at least a 25cm gap either end of the bed as recommended by the British Standards Institution (a measurement deemed wide enough for the child to safely leave the bed without being tempted to climb over the rail). Inflatable mattresses are to be avoided in conjunction with a bedguard as these can easily be punctured and deflate. Bedguards are not suitable for waterbeds for obvious reasons or camping beds where there is only a canvas sleeping surface attached to a metal frame. Nor is it safe to use them on the upper level of a bunk bed as a fall from this height is life threatening.

Are bed rails safe for babies?

Mesh bed rails: Lightweight and portable, ideal for travel, 90-degree fold-down mechanism for easy access. 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. 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. Installation is a breeze, as you simply slide the bed rail under the mattress – no drilling or screwing required. Wooden bed guards come in various lengths and heights to suit different bed sizes and mattress depths. 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. 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.
