As your baby becomes more mobile, the transition to a floor bed or the desire to keep them safe on your own bed becomes a priority. Bed rails are a popular solution, but they require careful installation. To ensure they are truly safe, they must be securely attached to the bed frame or ply board, not just tucked under the mattress, which can allow them to shift or come off. Always check that there are no gaps between the rail and the mattress where a curious crawler could become trapped. While bed rails provide extra security, they are not a substitute for supervision; even with them in place, keep an eye on your little one as they explore their boundaries.
