As the name suggests, this is a bed guard. Designed to help stop your young child from falling out of bed by providing a removable physical barrier.

The guard folds out into an L shape, with the bottom of the L going under the mattress and the vertical side being the barrier.

I used this with my eldest when he first went into a big bed at the age of 2. We definitely needed it as he did fall out of bed several times before we started using it.
This bed guard is easy to use and folds flat again for storage (fits nicely under the bed for example).
We used this for a few months, not only is it a good physical barrier to stop your child falling out of bed, it also works well as a visual barrier to put them off getting out of bed. Which they invairably try to do when first given the freedom!

The only problem I had with this bed guard was that when using it it with a cot bed, which has a thinner mattress than normal beds, it was possibble to feel the bar on the bed guard through the mattress, though I have to say that as my son is so light he did not notice, but an older child may well do. It is probably only designed to be used with a proper bed.

We never had any other problems though and the guard stayed secure all night and seemed very saef, would definitely recommend.
