Step 1
Determine the location of your child's bed. If the bed is located against a wall, you may decide that you only need a single bed rail. However, some parents choose the security of a double bed rail no matter the location of the bed.
-
Step 2
Check the Consumer Reports website for safety ratings. Make sure that the safety rails you consider have been properly reviewed and that there have been no recalls.
-
Step 3
Compare single bed rails to single bed rails, and double bed rails to other double bed rails. Look at price, safety ratings and consumer reviews.
-
Step 4
Read more than one consumer review. Other parents' comments on durability and ease of use can help you make your decision.
-
Step 5
Keep an open mind. You may have decided on a single bed rail, but the bed rail that meets all your standards is a double rail. You can still use a double bed safety rail even if your child's bed is in a corner or against the wall.
