These are great for if your child's bed is not against a wall as you get 2 bumpers and can protect them from falling out of bed both sides.

If the bed is placed alongside a wall then you have a natural barrier on one side and only need to guard the other.Featuring a secure locking mechansim and convenient fold down position, the hinged design helps to make putting your child to bed easier, as well as not hindering changing or making the bed.

My little one is still sleeping on his cot but in the middle of the night when he wakes up for his feeding he gets up the minute I put him back on the cot. Also, when fitting the bed rail you must make sure that you fit it with a gap of 250mm to avoid the risk of strangulation – the end of the bed rail should be level with your child’s shoulder.

H recently – finally – got her big girl bed after it became obvious she didn’t have much longer in her cotbed thanks to being so tall. The instructions recommend the bed rail is used between the ages of 18 months to 5 years – and that it’s recommended for mattresses that have a thickness of 25cm maximum.Disclosure: We were sent the featured products for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own. We decided that instead of going into a toddler bed she would go straight into a single bed and she handled the transition amazingly.
