And not that I mean to get your hopes up or anything, but my twins slept through the night for what is only about the fourth or fifth time in 2.5 years with them on. Coincidence?!

When choosing these toddler bed guards, we considered and compared protection, comfort, ease of assembly, convenience and portability. Once your child has grown out of the crib and cot, it is time to get a junior bed. This will be the final bed used before the child gets an adult bed. It is also a good idea to use bed rails and cot bumpers for the junior bed so that the child feels safe even now with the bed suddenly being much bigger than what he or she was used to with the cot. The BabyDan Folding Bed Guard is not only practical but also highly portable. It comes with its own travel bag, making it convenient to bring along on family trips or sleepovers. You can easily fold it down and store it in the travel bag, ensuring hassle-free transportation and storage. It is recommended only to use the bed guard for children between 18 months and 5 years. Only use the bed guard when the child is able to climb in and out of the bed unaidedIf you liked this review, why not read a few of my others? How about what I thought of the Land Rover Discovery as a car for three young kids. Or what about how I got on the with the Mountain Buggy Nano Duo. Or how the Gummee Glove helps teething little ones.

There are many different kinds of accessories that can make your child even more comfortable sleeping in his or her own bed. The accessories both increase safety and brighten up the child’s room. A cot canopy over the child’s bed is not just something that looks nice - it also makes the child feel at ease. If your child is a newborn, he or she will need to be shielded from light and disturbances, and a cot canopy can help the child shut out the rest of the world so that the baby bed becomes a calm, cosy and safe place to sleep. In the summer, a cot canopy can be great for children of all ages, as it also helps keep mosquitos and other insects away. Please note - our carriers only work Monday to Fridays (8am - 6pm). We regret our carriers cannot deliver at a specific time. ALL deliveries must be signed for. Foam mattresses are a great choice for children, as they are firm and take on the shape of the child’s body. It is also an advantage to select a mattress with removable bedding, particularly for children who often have little accidents at night. If the child tends to wet the bed often, a mattress protector is a good idea as is buying an extra top mattress. And of course, a good top mattress is an important factor in ensuring that your child sleeps well. Many DreamSafe mattresses have a sewn-on top mattress, but you can also buy top mattresses separately and use them on top of another mattress.

If possible, put one side of your toddler's bed against the wall. This prevents the need to buy multiple bed guards, and offers a natural guard instead. A Cuddle Nest, also called a baby nest, is great at surrounding your baby and making him or her feel safe. It is made so that it reminds the child of the safety of a mother’s womb, meaning that it naturally puts the child at ease. This is smart if you are unable to hold your child right in a certain moment. You can use a Cuddle Nest from birth and up to the age of approximately six months - or when the child simply grows out of it. You can benefit from selecting one of BabyDan’s or DreamSafe’s Cuddle Nests, which are breathable and entirely safe for your baby. When you have a safety gate, you can make it flexible by adding extensions. That would allow it to also fit different and wider openings. This can be useful if, for example, you move to a new home or if you want to use the safety gate somewhere else in your house. This also means that you will not have to buy a new gate. In BabyDan’s product range, you can find extensions in many different sizes and colours - there are extensions for all safety gates and purposes. However, keep in mind that you can only extend your safety gate if it is pressure mounted. You also need to keep in mind that some gates need wall cups if you add extensions. Some gates can be extended pretty much indefinitely (such as BabyDan Flex and BabyDan OLAF), but others have limitations. You can also add a section with an extra door if you need more entrances to the area behind the gate. This might be a good idea if you want to turn your gate into a room divider, and selection of an extension also depends on what kind of safety gate you have and what your needs are.

But one thing you DON’T want happening is them rolling out and hitting the floor. Moving twins from cot to bed was easier with Baby Dan First and foremost, it is important that you select a bed that matches the child’s age and size. The first bed your child will be sleeping in is a crib - you can choose a regular crib or a By-My-Side crib which can be placed right against your bed. To prevent the risk of strangulation it is essential to ensure that when the bed guard is fitted correctly into position; there must be a gap of at least 25 cm (10 inch) between each end of the bed and the corresponding end of the bed guard Easy Installation: Setting up the bed guard is a breeze. Simply follow the included instructions, and you’ll have it securely attached to the bed in no time.

Reviews

Bed guards and rails are aimed at toddlers, with the recommended age usually being from 18 months to 5 years. Many manufacturers advise not using a bed rail on a sleeping surface that is more than 60cm from the floor, so they wouldn’t be suitable for the top bed of a bunk. 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.
