Are Toddler Bed Rails Necessary

Do bed rails work for toddlers?

According to the FDA’s regulations, portable or removable bed rails should only be used with children who are old enough to get out of bed unassisted. Furthermore, making sure that your product is sound and correctly installed will ensure that they’re actually as safe as they claim to be.

What age do you use bed rails?

Although the recommended age for use of a bed rail is 18 months to 5 years, as a parent you may instinctively know when your child is ready to progress from a cot to a bed (with a bed rail fitted) and they may be slightly younger or older than the recommended age.
