After lots of frustration and forced co-sleeping with our very own kicking donkey, we got her a very low bed and positioned cushions by the open side. He is able to climb in, and out, of the bed with ease, and hasn’t been able to fall out whilst sleeping.

However, it makes an excellent choice for parents looking for a simplistic way to keep their wee ones safe while sleeping. The secure locking mechanism and convenient hinged folding design makes lifting the child and changing the bedding easy. When your toddler is ready to move from an enclosed cot to a cot bed or toddler bed it may also be time to think about investing in a bed guard.Made of 100% babysafe foam, this bed guard instantly transforms a bed of any size into a safe zone for your little one. I worked out that if I pressed one side in and pulled that edge down it would stay in place whilst I did the same to the other side. Suitable for beds with mattress widths from 76 cm to 90 cm and mattress lengths from 150 cm to 200 cm. Remember, toddler bed guards are not designed to be used with younger babies, as safe sleep guidelines say, for babies under 12 months, to keep their sleep space clear of anything that could pose a suffocation risk.

This is convenient for if your child wants to lay or sit on the bed during the day playing with toys. Measuring an impressive 101 cm in length, theSafety 1st Bed Rail leaves little room for your toddler to tumble from the bed. You can take them with you everywhere – no more rearranging the furniture to prevent kids from rolling out of bed. If you are keen to avoid things that go bump in the night, you can’t go wrong with the Hippychick Dream Tubes Bed Bumpers.

The Bed Rail can be positioned at whatever point you like on the bed and we chose to put it just below her pillow so that most of the area where her body would lay is protected from falling. There’s a number of different options to loot at when it comes to finding the best bed guard for your child.
