It’s quite exciting when you realize that your precious baby is now big enough to move into a single bed.  There are some wonderfully colorful organic  toddler bedding sets available to add to the excitement.  This is the time to make the decision about whether to install bed rails.

Most models of toddler bed rails are made to fit between a mattress and box spring, using some variation of an L-shape. The actual height of the rail varies and can be affected by the depth of your mattress. This is an important thing to consider when looking at the size of a rail. If you are left with only a few inches of protection, a restless child can roll right over the top at night.

Another consideration is the construction. Toddlers can be restless and temperamental. Banging their heads on rails can cause bruises and a bigger tantrum than they were having to start with. You may wish to consider rails that are padded, for extra protection.  Before looking for a bed rail, measure the bed’s height and the mattress depth. Then compare the features offered by each manufacturer of rails, including padding, portability, and ease of use.
