[blparent] Bed Rails

[Veronica Smith]

I fell off a bunk bed and that was the only time.  Kids are like us parents,
once you learn to sleep without rails you manage.  Funny, I am a restless
sleeper and I stay right in the middle of the bed.  I think Gab fell out of
the bed once that I know of, but she just climbed right back in.  I also
think she was closer to 3 when she got her big girls bed. V

Both my boys fell out of bed even with the rails. The worst that would
happen is they would cry for a few minutes. Most of the time though they
just climb back in bed without waking up. You could just put a matress on
the floor or get a toddler bed that will hold the crib matress. 

I have a bunk bed for my boys but I am seriously douting that I will ever be
able to safely use it with either of my restless sleepers.

Hi.  I'm starting to think about moving Sarah from her crib to a regular
bed.  The move might not happen for a few months yet, but one of these days
Sarah is going to try climbing out of her crib.  It's just a matter of time.
So I'm wondering if any of you bought rails for a regular bed.  If so, were
the rails worth the investment?  I was thinking I would put a baby gate at
Sarah's door as well as one at the top of the stairs, but I'm not sure how
big of an issue falling out of bed might be.  The rails seem to sell for
between $20 and $30, which isn't bad, but I don't want to spend money on
something that isn't really necessary.  Thanks.
