*This giveaway has ended. Be sure to check back every Monday for another great giveaway.*
As a parent, one of the scariest sounds to hear in the middle of the night is a thunk promptly followed by a loud scream or cry. Transitioning from a crib to a bed is never easy but Summer Infant makes it much easier to bear with their Sure&Secure® Double Bedrail. Moms and dads can rest a little easier knowing their little one won’t be falling out..even when in a twin, full, or queen-size bed.
We are beginning to think about moving Little Brother into a twin bed. The bed is set up and ready and once we make the switch, the boys will be sharing a room. With Big Brother, we never used a toddler bed nor did we convert our crib. We were still at our old house and just started him off by putting a twin-size mattress on the floor (so if he fell off, it was only a few inches). After a few weeks, we added the box springs. By the time we put the mattress and box springs on the frame, he was so used to sleeping within the space of the twin mattress that we never had any issues with him falling out.
But we won’t be going that route with Little Brother…mostly because we have a spider problem in our new (old) house. Not just any spiders, but brown recluse (which can cause a lot of damage to the skin, tissue, and muscle when they bite). No mattress on the floor this time…no Siree.
That’s why I was elated to try out the Summer Infant Sure&Secure® Double Bedrail! I was able to put the bedrail together in about 20 minutes. I’m sure it would have taken more direction-savvy people (such as my husband) a much shorter amount of time, but I was pretty proud I could do it myself without having to redo anything! Then we just hooked the two rails together using the provided connectors and put it on top of the box springs (under the mattress). Everything needed to put it together was included…even a 9-inch paper ruler to make sure that the bedrail is at least 9 inches from the top and/or bottom of the mattress!
One thing I really like about this bedrail is that it is (obviously) double-sided. I’m not a fan of putting beds up against the wall, so this was the perfect solution for us. I also love that it is a breathable mesh fabric.
My favorite feature, however, is that it can fold down on each side, making it TONS easier to make the bed!
I feel 100% confident that Little Brother will transition smoothly from his crib to a bed without any bumps or bruises, thanks to this product!
If blue doesn’t float your boat…rest assured, there is a pink one available as well. :)

I would love to win this! I have been looking for something when I transition my boys to bunk beds after Baby #3 arrives in Oct. That means my then 22 month old will be moving to the bottom bunk and the 3 year old will move to the top bunk. So some bedrails would definitely help me sleep a little better knowing they can’t just roll out and fall on the floor! *Crossing fingers*

my boo boo is ready for his big bed, but I worry to about him falling.. this would be a great help to my sanity….
We are getting ready to transition my toddler as well. This will definitely alleviate some worries when making the move!

I would LOOOOVe to win this! We’re in the process of deciding when to move my 2 year old to a big girl’s bed. We’ve been looking into bed rails and I’m glad that you’re giving this one such good reviews!

I too am about to put my 3 year old in a twin bed.
We’re just about to move our youngest son to a twin bed as well from his crib which I never got around to converting but glad I didnt because we’re having another baby on Monday lol :) So this would be perfect!
This would be great to have!
This looks like a great product and we could really use it!!
I would love this for my 2 year old boy. We are in the process of moving, so while we are in between places he is using a Pack’n’Play. NOT working… He can easily climb out and I am worrying about him hurting himself.
I’d love a blue one for when we make the move to a big boy bed!!
We just looked at rails yesterday for our sleep walking, sleep talking and otherwise wondering zombie during the night. But right now we cannot afford the $30 to purchase one with our second son due on the 31st. For now we just let him come to sleep with us once he does fall out of bed or wonder in the night. it would be awesome to win this to help transition him quicker once Titus arrives.
We are looking for a new bed for our son, so this would be perfect timing!

We just put our baby girl (almost 3) in a tiny toddler bed this weekend as we prepare to have a new baby in the crib. These would be great for that big ole full size bed she’ll be in all too soon.
I’d love to win this! We could really use it right about now! I’d choose the blue if I was lucky enough to win.

Won’t be long before my 2-year-old boy moves to a big-boy bed, and if I’m pregnant with #3 before that happens, there’ll be no converting his crib to a toddler bed! I’ve watched him flop around while he sleeps . . . we’ll need this!
I would love to win this for my daughter! I think she’s ready for us to transition her crib to a toddler bed.

This is awesome… Perfect for that transition time. I think I’ll need 2 though! :)

This would be perfect for my nephew! My son and daughter both used Summer bedrails and they were a HUGE success! My nephew has a new baby brother on the way and needs to move into a big boy bed so his brother will have somewhere to sleep. These would be perfect for him!
This is great! I would choose pink for my daughter if I won. Thanks!

Like the double sided part…we have a really old one that is just for one side, but I can’t complain as it cost all of .75 at a rummage sale! We’d take blue as it matches the room better and would work easier for either gender (we have both) since hubby prefers his boys to not be decked out in pink :)

This would be great for my cousin! Right not she makes do with a chair pressed up against the side of the toddler bed for her child

Our oldest, Cash, fell out of the bed Saturday night. I heard the thunk and the scream, and of course, little brother woke up, too. It was a mad sprint upstairs to comfort both of them. I cuddled Cash, while my husband took care of our other little guy. I think Cash was calmed down and back to sleep way before my heart stopped racing!
Love Summer products!!
Would love these for my little one that just moved into a big bed – we’ve been looking for something like this.

I would love something like this. Right now the idea of transitioning my daughter freaks me out. If she isn’t in her crib, she refuses to sleep. So a bed with rails like this may be like a crib to her!
I would love to have one of these! My little man is about 1 1/2, so it would be great for him in the future!

I just started searching for bed rails like this today at work. I am not digging the toddler bed we have for DS, so I’ve finally gotten the go-ahead to move him to a twin bed once I get a bed rail to keep him from falling off. :)

I would love to win one! We will probably be transitioning our daughter (who is 17 months) to a bed later this year when she will get her own room (currently sharing one with her brother who is 2). These would be so awesome to have! We also, started our son on the floor, then moved him higher – so we do not have any of these great bedrails!

I’d love to win the blue one. My little boy is quite the squirmy sleeper; this will allow us to move him to a big boy bed without worrying about him squirming his way off.
We’re not even close to a big boy bed, yet, but I always like to plan ahead. :) This is a cool product!
looks like a great thing, better than putting chairs up by the bed :-)

Just converted our son’s toddler bed. Well, we are doing the mattress on the floor thing. He wasn’t too happy with it, so we left the sides on the head board and crammed the mattress in there. These would be a much better idea at keeping him feeling secure, but still easing into a big boy bed!
