Safety First Bed Rail

March 16, 2014 By Kristian

The Safety First Portable Bed Rail

Overview

There are a number of Safety First Bed Rails on the market, but their “Portable” product is the only one that receives consistently good user reviews. Due to this very positive feedback, it is the only Safety First Bed Rail that I specifically recommend on my site.

The Safety First Portable Bed Rail is designed to be used by children aged between  about 3 and 5 years. It will greatly ease their transition from cot to their first cotbed or single bed. It will work on both solid and slatted bed bases.

The rail is supplied fully assembled and is very simple to install (see below).

As you can see from the image on the right, this bed rail is certainly high enough to keep even the most active and fidgety sleeper safely within their bed (it is 43 cm high).

Key Features
  • suitable for children weighing between 14 and 24 kg
  • rail folds down whilst still installed to allow your child to get into bed
  • bed must be at least 156 cm long, 42.5 cm high and have a mattress width of between 10 – 26 cm
  • when not in use it folds down into a compact and portable size – ideal for travelling
  • 107 cm long, but retracts to 63 cm for easy storage
How to Install

The Safety First Portable Bed Rail comes fully assembled.

You simply remove the rail from the box, fold out the 2 retaining arms and position them onto the solid bed base or bed slats.

Once you have ensured that the rail itself is against the edge of the bed, you place the mattress on top of the retaining arms. Provided the mattress is the correct size for the bed, it will keep the rail in a solid and secure position.

The bed rail can be folded down whilst it is still installed under the mattress to allow your child to get in and out of bed.

It gets excellent user reviews.

Find it here.

Buy it in the UK.

Conclusions

The Safety First Portable Bed Rail is an excellent product – it is cheap, solid and easy to use.

It is perfect for those who need to be able to take a bed rail away with them on holiday or when visiting relatives.
