Safetots wooden bed rails are a standard height of 38cm from the base to the top, and are considered suitable for most beds including cots, single beds, and double beds. 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. text": "Some mesh baby bed guards have the added feature and benefit of a 90-degree fold down mechanism.

Regular cleaning:Toddler bed rails should be cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt and bacteria.

Some bed rails have covers that can be removed and washed in a washing machine.Measure the length of your child’s bed and make sure you can achieve a 25cm gap at either end of the bed rail once installed. Both mesh and wooden bed rails are available in a range of different lengths and heights. 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. Unlike mesh bed guards, our wooden bed rails do not feature the 90 degrees fold down mechanism. A wooden bed rail once fitted holds one position only. Wooden bed rails are not recommended for inflatable beds, upper bunk beds, or cots, but are suited to single beds, double beds, king, and queen beds. Some parents may take comfort in having a bed guard in place for longer than the recommended age of five, and as each child's development is individual and unique to them, the decision of when to remove a child safety gate can be down to a parent’s discretion."

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. Will you be needing to take the bed rail to the grandparents?
