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.

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.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.

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. 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. Safetots offer a range of extra tall bed guards in both wood and mesh, available in different widths. We have extra wide bed guards suitable for a range of mattress sizes, including double and king size beds. However, please note that these rails cannot be used with bunk beds or inflatable beds. 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.text": "If your child’s bed is against a wall, you will only need to fit one bed guard to the exposed side of the bed. Should your child's bed be in the centre of their bedroom, a bed guard fitted to both sides of the bed is advised. Bed rails simply aid in preventing your child from falling out of their bed as they make the transition from a cot to a bed and therefore if in the middle of a room, double bed rails are advised." Yes! Most mesh bed rails and wooden bed rails are compatible with slatted beds. Bed rails have a large base frame that simply slips beneath the mattress and the weight of the mattress holds the frame in place. Some toddler bed guards have additional straps that slide under the mattress to secure the bed rail further. It’s important to install the base of the bed rail along the wooden slats and not in the gaps, to ensure the bed rail is safe for use. Always test the bed rail for stability before allowing your child to sleep alongside it. 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.

Wooden bed rails provide a contemporary look and feel in any home. They come in a range of great colours in blue, grey, pink, white and natural wood enabling you to match home interiors.
