If she is crawling out of her crib your daughter might be careful with the new railing. Instead of keeping her in at night it will just give her a higher fall when she climbs over the rail... My little boy is 3 and we had a railing on his toddler bed when he was almost 2. He managed to climb up and over and crashed onto the floor. We decided that the one foot fall was a better alternative than the up over the top of the railing, on to his head fall. It's a cute railing though. I hope it works out for her :)

You may have a good item to sell at craft fairs. Wish I had thought of that when we first got the bed cause he wakes me up when he hits the metal railing with his head, arms an legs. You have a good day too.

Toddler beds are only less than one foot off the ground ......did you have a solid rail ? they usually have a rail that doesn't go the whole length of the bed.. .. your son should have been able to climb out the back.

Most toddler rails are made of mesh so that if the child's face gets pressed against it, they can't suffacate. They also typically have a metal bar in a sleeve that sits right at the level of the mattress, or just below the edge, so that hte child can't push the fabric out and becoem trapped between the mattress and the rail. This being said, my 2 year old has a rail on his single bed and still manages to fall out! He somehow manages to roll to the bottom 1/3 where there isn't a rail and roll out of bed! That takes talent! We just make sure that there isn't anything around the bed for him to fall onto. He's been int he bed for almost 6 mo and still thinks he can't get out until we come in to get him! He's laid there for 20 minutes awake without getting out! Goofy thing!
