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. Our stair gates and room dividers will prevent them from entering any unsafe areas of the home once they're out of bed. You can install one of our screw fit safety gates at the top of the stairs to keep your little one safe. Plus it’s helpful to get a sense of how the bed rails work and if they are going to be a good option for your child. 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.

Some have a support leg which rests down on the floor when the rail is horizontal. Some models provide a single horizontal rail which provides support at one height; others consist of a looped rail which provides two alternative gripping positions. Some of these rails have a built-in toilet roll holder.

What age to use bed rails?

One travel item that can be very helpful while traveling with toddlers is a portable bed rail. This is a product that goes under your child’s sheet to make a barrier at the edge of your child’s bed. These rails create a boundary for your child and prevent them from falling out of the bed onto the floor while they are sleeping. These bed rails can also be used as a divider between kids who are sharing the same bed. Our kids tend to move around a lot while sleeping. When they share a bed it often ends with one child rolling on top of the other and then both of them waking up screaming. Not fun for anyone. Putting a bed rail in between children in the middle of the bed can help to keep them on their own side and prevent any middle of the night wakeups. Tips for using bed rails for toddlers during travel The following is general guidance. When an individual user is known, personal factors such as the height of the person should be given priority. This also means that you don’t have to have a bed available for your toddler to use at your destination as you will be bringing one with you. You can set up a toddler bed anywhere to create a cozy sleep space for your child.
