Bed rails prevent serious accidents from happening, and get rid of the fear of horrible injuries in your mind.
So how do you know when it is time to replace your bed rails for toddlers? The easiest way to tell when it is time to replace is if when you move it around you hear high-pitched squeaks, and crackling sounds.
This tells you that the rail has served it life span or been abused so much to the point where it is time to let it go. You will start to see massive signs of wear and tear, like small barely visible cracking across the surface, and in extreme cases full blown large visible cracks.
The main goal of a bed rail for your toddler is to ensure their safety throughout the night as they sleep.
Bed rails prevent serious accidents from happening, and get rid of the fear of horrible injuries in your mind. When replacing your bed rail make sure you find one that is made from hard, durable material like mesh.
You want to make sure the mesh is soft enough for your baby to enjoy if they come in contact with it, but still hard and strong enough to keep them safe from falling. Try to replace your bed rail with one that is adjustable. If you do this you have very high chances of not having to replace your bed rail in the future.
Some rails are expandable and allow them be expanded for the perfect fit to your toddler. Make sure to get one with a totally reliable locking device, this is going to be one that cannot be accidentally unlocked by the infant when fiddling with it. Many parents opt to have their young one sleep on a daybed trundle mattress which is usually lower to the ground that a regular bed.
You are going to want to find one that has the right amount of space between the bars so that your toddler does not fall through them and get injured. The same great technology that is incorporated in wheeled backpacks is what is used in the creation of bed rails for toddlers, so you know you are getting quality. Be sure to look for all these aspects when replacing your bed rail.
