Any tips on buying a bed guard please???

[Ko]

gosh, why is it soooo hard to choose these things? there are so many different ones and as they cost on average ?30 i don't want to get one i don't like/find useful!

does anyone have one they can recommend? should i look out for anything in particular? want one to put on the side of our bed for when baby (6 months old) sleeps in with me for his daytime naps - he won't sleep by himself during the day.

alternatively does anyone have one they want to sell on? many thanks xxx

I have a foam rubber wedge thingy I got on ebay. Is easily portable for holidays etc.

thanks fuschia! i was actually looking at this on ebay earlier - does it really stay in place??? if a baby rolls over onto it, can't the baby push it over the edge of the bed? i know they wouldn't sell it if it didn't work, but i am finding it hard to understand how it works? love the fact that it can easily be taken on holiday, to gran's etc

You tuck it under the bottom sheet. It works very well. There is a stage where a crawling baby will tend to try to leap over any bedguard, mind you (for eg leaning over a traditional bedguard and divebombing!) but to prevent tolling this is great and doesn't make it impossible for you to get into bed, sit on the bed or change the bed.

Another vote for the one recommended above. We use it on our bed for when baby's sleeping in our bed and it's really comfy to lean against.
