BabyDan Folding Bed Guard (Black)

Product Information

There are many different kinds of accessories that can make your child even more comfortable sleeping in his or her own bed. The accessories both increase safety and brighten up the child’s room. A cot canopy over the child’s bed is not just something that looks nice - it also makes the child feel at ease. If your child is a newborn, he or she will need to be shielded from light and disturbances, and a cot canopy can help the child shut out the rest of the world so that the baby bed becomes a calm, cosy and safe place to sleep. In the summer, a cot canopy can be great for children of all ages, as it also helps keep mosquitos and other insects away. If possible, put one side of your toddler's bed against the wall. This prevents the need to buy multiple bed guards, and offers a natural guard instead.

A Cuddle Nest, also called a baby nest, is great at surrounding your baby and making him or her feel safe. It is made so that it reminds the child of the safety of a mother’s womb, meaning that it naturally puts the child at ease. This is smart if you are unable to hold your child right in a certain moment. You can use a Cuddle Nest from birth and up to the age of approximately six months - or when the child simply grows out of it. You can benefit from selecting one of BabyDan’s or DreamSafe’s Cuddle Nests, which are breathable and entirely safe for your baby. It is important that the duvet, pillow and bedding for the child’s bed are soft and free of harmful substances, and all of BabyDan’s products are, so you can feel completely at ease having your child sleep with them. It could go either way, they could settle well, or they could run for the hills.You can read about how my pair are getting on here. Make sure the bed guard is properly fitted. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and test its strength by pushing on the guard from inside the bed. If the bed guard falls or moves, it hasn't been safely fitted, and should be fixed before your toddler uses it. Foldable Design: Need easy access to the bed? No problem! This bed guard can be effortlessly folded down, allowing you to reach the bed without any obstacles.First and foremost, it is important that you select a bed that matches the child’s age and size. The first bed your child will be sleeping in is a crib - you can choose a regular crib or a By-My-Side crib which can be placed right against your bed. Foam mattresses are a great choice for children, as they are firm and take on the shape of the child’s body. It is also an advantage to select a mattress with removable bedding, particularly for children who often have little accidents at night. If the child tends to wet the bed often, a mattress protector is a good idea as is buying an extra top mattress. And of course, a good top mattress is an important factor in ensuring that your child sleeps well. Many DreamSafe mattresses have a sewn-on top mattress, but you can also buy top mattresses separately and use them on top of another mattress.

It is recommended only to use the bed guard for children between 18 months and 5 years. Only use the bed guard when the child is able to climb in and out of the bed unaided Baby expert Dean Smith also gave us some top tips to ensure that once you've bought a bed guard, you install and use it safely. He says:

To prevent the risk of strangulation it is essential to ensure that when the bed guard is fitted correctly into position; there must be a gap of at least 25 cm (10 inch) between each end of the bed and the corresponding end of the bed guard Once your child has grown out of the crib and cot, it is time to get a junior bed. This will be the final bed used before the child gets an adult bed. It is also a good idea to use bed rails and cot bumpers for the junior bed so that the child feels safe even now with the bed suddenly being much bigger than what he or she was used to with the cot. Easy Installation: Setting up the bed guard is a breeze. Simply follow the included instructions, and you’ll have it securely attached to the bed in no time. When choosing these toddler bed guards, we considered and compared protection, comfort, ease of assembly, convenience and portability.

No matter which bed you are about to buy, it is important that you also remember to buy a good mattress. When selecting a mattress, it is important that you know whether your child has asthma or allergies - if so, you must select a mattress made from natural materials, and you can find those here in the BabyDan online store. Though of course, all mattresses are free of all harmful substances. Please note that it is very important to ensure that the straps are correctly adjusted with respect to the minimum suggested size for mattress (width: 70 - 120 cm). If the straps are incorrectly adjusted the free length could exceed the specified maximum of 220 mm and cause danger to your childAfter a few months, the child will be about to outgrow the crib, and then you need to find a cot. A cot is a good investment, as your child can use it for a long time - you can also choose to use a cot right from the start when your child is born. If you like, you should also remember to use a Cuddle Nest or a cot bumper for the cot. Baby Dan is a Danish company who have been creating safety products since the 1950s. Their mission statement remains “Eyes for Safety”. And they now produce a wide range of products including *gates, *guards and *other accessories to keep babies and young children safe in and around the home. Attractive and easy to use A cot bumper is a really good helper if your child is turning and tossing at night, as it is a protective layer added to the inside of the bed which ensures that your child does not bump his or her head against the edges of the bed. Most cot bumpers are made of foam and have a soft cover over them, so your little one is well protected. You can find cot bumpers for both cribs and cots. A cot bumper can make your child feel extra secure, as it makes the bed a bit smaller and more cosy. You can also use a bed rail for the junior bed, which helps keep your child safe at night if he or she is still getting used to sleeping in a larger bed without hard edges. The bed guard must not be used as a substitute for a cot as it cannot provide the same level of safety. Do not use the bed guard in cribs or on sleeping surfaces placed more than 60 cm above the floor
