Bed Safety Rails - Munchkin Deluxe Safety Bed Rail

Munchkin Deluxe Safety Bed Rail is a bed rail designed for children. Unlike most bed rails that are rectangular fashioned in design, Munchkin bed rails are come with a with a curved top that looks like an arch rather than a horizontal top. This breaks from the standard appearance of bed rails and is especially good for decorating children’s bed.

Munchkin bed rails come pre-assembled and required very little effort on your part in assemble to parts. However it does still require some effort for installation on your child’s bed. The support bars of the rail are laid on the frame of the bed and the rail is secured using the adjustable straps for tying to mattress. The adjustable straps allow you to install the Munchkin bed rail on beds of various sizes and lock the bed rail to the mattress.

Like most children bed rails, Munchkin bed rails are fully foldable to allow for easy access of your child in and out of the bed and also allows for bed making when your child is not sleeping in the bed. Munchkin bed rails further comes equipped with add-ons such as a night light, cup holder and 4 storage pockets.

The night light is a very useful feature for parents with children who cannot sleep without bed lights. Of course, bed lights are not difficult to get separately, but having it in the package does save you the trouble.

The cup holder is of course, used for holding a water bottle or milk bottle to feed the child if he/she gets hungry or thirsty at night. However, the cup holder has a fairly wide opening and is slightly too shallow for holding tall bottles. If your child were to pull at the cup holder accidentally, the contents of the holder may fall onto him/herself. This can be solved easily by adding a zip or tie to fix the items within in place.

The various storage pockets can serve as storage for you to place all the children items for easy reach when you need them. Alternatively, these can be your child’s first personal space where he/she can keep his/her own treasures.

These help your child feel attached to his/her bed, thus making it easier for him/her to transfer from a baby cot to a new bed. However, parents should check and clean your child’s little private area regularly.

Children may keep food that has been given to them in those pockets. Food like sweets and other snacks can spoil or melt, causing the bed rail to become messy. And worse still, your child may eat them! The bed rail pockets should not be overloaded with heavy objects (especially books! Many parents like to keep their children’s story books near their bed.) as the bed rail may collapse from the weight.
