There are 2 types of Summer Infant Bed Rails to choose from:
- Summer Infant Grow With Me Single Bed Rail
- Summer Infant Grow With Me Double Bed Rails
American parents should note that this product is called the Summer Infant Sure and Secure Folding Bed Rail in the USA – it is exactly the same product and my review applies equally both the UK and US versions.
Summer Infant Grow With Me Single Bed Rail
Overview
Summer Infant Bed Rails work perfectly on both solid and slatted bed bases.
They are manufactured from toughened fabric and use a locking-anchor mechanism to secure the bed rail in position.
The length of the locking-anchor mechanism can be adjusted between 70 and 90 cm to enable it to fit onto a variety of different sized beds.
It comes with a 3-stage folding mechanism to allow your child to get in and out of bed easily. This features also helps you to changed the bed linen without having to first remove the bed rail.
When not in use, the Summer Infant Bed Rails can be folded away and stored. They are also very convenient if you need to travel on holiday.
Colour Options: White, Blue, Pink
Key Features
- Simple anchor mechanism ensures a snug and secure fit.
- Minimal assembly required
- Fits cotbed (70cm) or single bed (90cm) sized mattresses
- Fits most bed base types
- Panel measures a full 122cm wide x 51cm tall
- Folds down for easy access to the bed, or to change bedding
How to Install
The Summer Infant Bed Rails come with anchors to provide added stability.
You simply extend the “arms” to the required length and hook the anchors around the other end of the mattress.
Once installed, the bed rail folds down to enable your child to get in and out of bed or to make it easier for you to change the bed linen without removing th bed rail. You will, however, need to use both hands to achieve this.
Whilst it is possible for a single person to install these bed rails, it is much easier if there are 2 of you.
Value for Money
It gets excellent user reviews.
Cons
- Despite manufacturer claims to the contrary, this can initially be a little tricky to install
- Despite manufacturer claims that the bed rails fit queen sized beds, many users have tried and failed
Conclusions
The Summer Infant Bed Rails are excellent safety products – they are cheap, solid and relatively 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.
Summer Infant Grow With Me Double Bed Rail
The Summer Infant Grown With Me Double Bed Rail is simply a pack of 2 single bed rails.
You will only need to buy the double bed rails if neither side of your child’s bed touches the wall.
The double pack would also be a good way to save a little money if you have twins (or more!)
