Need a bed rail to go with your child’s Walmart twin mattress? This one stands out because of its cute smiley face pattern, zero required tools for installation and 30 adjustable height positions. We also love the affordable pricing and Walmart return policy.
It has a strong iron frame and foldable L-shaped legs to hold it in place under the mattress. Made of breathable mesh and tear-resistant, non-toxic and safe oxford cloth, it doesn’t emit any toxic odors and cleans easily with warm water.
Pros
- Affordable Walmart pricing and quick shipping
- Easily accommodates mattresses of varied thicknesses
- Just press a button to control up or down motion
- Adorable kid-friendly design
- Foldable L-shaped legs
Cons
- Pattern may be too juvenile for older kids
Defer to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommendations, according to Dr. Chee Chun Tan. “Bed rails should only be used in adult beds and for kids ages two to five years old. These must not create a dangerous gap with the mattress into which a child can fall.”
Additionally, says Dr. Tan, “Test to make sure the bed rail hardware is permanently attached and that components cannot be assembled in an unsafe manner.”
Today, bed rails must have improved warnings on labels and instructions, “Installation components, such as anchor or straps, must be permanently attached to the bed rail. These component parts also must have a warning label on them.” If you’re not entirely sure if your child needs bed rail yet, “Place a mattress on the floor instead or on a toddler floor bed.”
