Making the transition from the baby crib to a “big kid” bed is a huge step in a child’s life. Being trusted by your parents to stay in bed and not roll out of it can be a confidence booster for any child. Growing up is exciting and eventful for both the children and the parents. As your children grow, they’re going to want more freedom. A way to keep them protected while also giving them independence is by adding a bed rail. A rail for their bed or crib will keep them from falling out of it and possibly injure themselves. This also works well for seniors or people who are recuperating from a procedure. This will help those who need to remain in bed in place for the night or during a nap. We’ve highlighted bed rails for different types of beds to give you an idea of what’s out there. Let’s take a look.
Your toddler will sleep safely
Depending on what kind of bed your child has, they’ll still be able to use the ComfyBumpy Bed Rails for Toddlers. The triple-safe bed rail guard secures tightly with slats and springs using Velcro. Or, if there is a box spring, you can put the straps under the mattress or you can put it in with screws on wood bases. This works for kids twin beds, double beds, queens, and even kings. You just have to pull on the latch to easily pull down the bed rails. The newly designed flat iron bars allow your child to be secured safely but without feeling the bars under the mattress. With a curved, pull down design, it fits easily around the bed frame.
Key Features:
- Can be secured three different ways
- Pulling on the latch pulls down the bed rails
- Fits easily around the bed frame
