A look at transferring your child from their crib or parents bedroom to their own bed, from a safety point of view. The importance and effectiveness of bed rails is stressed.
What do you do when you have to transfer your baby out of the crib before that child is ready? These days people are having kids closer and closer together. No one wants to buy more than one crib unless they absolutely have to. Why not use safety bed side rails on your baby's toddler bed. They are proven to be effective. Bed side rails will fit on any toddler bed and most regular mattresses allowing you to make that transfer from the crib to the toddler bed without worry.
There are many brands and styles of safety bed rails to choose from. You can make the transition fun by making it into a game. Read stories to your child in the bed with the safety bed rails up so they get the feel of it. Give them a baby massage before bed to set the tone. Play calming baby music in the room. Keep a night light on in the room so your baby will not get scared and so you can easily peak in.
The side bedrails will give your child that added security and will feel like a crib. You could have bedrails on all four sides of the bed if you needed it. The bedrails also fold down so you are able to change and make the bed easily.
