Summer Infant Sure&Secure® Double Bedrail: Product Review and Giveaway

*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!

This was as still as I could get him...keeping him in the bed might be our main challenge!

 

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*

  3. Kristi C says

    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….

  17. Eunice Chou says

    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!

  23. Amber says

    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!

  26. Dana Dagman says

    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.

  28. LIndsey Christensen says

    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.

  32. Ashley says

    The fact that your house has spiders, totally freaks me out! I could never do it!!

    I would like to try this out for when we transition my son to his bed

  35. regina says

    We would love to win this! With baby #4 needing the crib we need to move our very active little guy to a big bed. Blue would be awesome. I do follow you on facebook and LOVE everything you do. Thank you :)

  36. Elizabeth says

    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.

  37. Kristen says

    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.

  41. Danielle R. says

    This would be fabulous. We have a 15 month old and I’m sure it won’t be too long til we need to think about the switch to a ‘big boy bed.’

  43. Heather V says

    I would love to win this! My twin girls just moved into twin beds, and we have a mismatched set that we’re borrowing from friends. :) Thank you!

  45. amber cornell says

    I would LOVE to win this bed rail in pink. My lil’ girl is 20 months and we are in need of this real bad! I hope I won!!!!!!!! I am a follower and liked summer infant as well!!!!!!!!!

  47. Jacqueline says

    With the *hope* of one day having the girls in a room together, these will be a necessity. Pink, of course!

  53. Neala Jones says

    We are going to be transitioning our 3 year olds to beds soon and these would be great.

  54. Erin says

    I follow you on FB. We are on the hunt for the best solution for our 2 year old little girl when baby 3 is born in September.

  62. Michele VanPatten says

    Our Little Man will be ready for a toddler bed soon and we would like to put him in a regular bed as opposed to a toddler bed, there would be perfect. Thansks for the review!

  70. Christy says

    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!

  75. Trisha Collis says

    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!

  78. Robbie says

    Our 19 month old grand daughter would really benefit from this prize. Pink, please! Thanks.

  79. Rachel Bausili says

    My 21-month old will be transferring to a big boy bed soon and these would be great.

  93. Suzanne R. says

    We are nearing the crib to bed transition with our little one. Would love to give the pink one a whirl!

  96. Sarah says

    We were just talking this weekend about if it was time for my kiddo to be moved up to a “big boy” bed….(our answer was no, not yet!) When we do, one of these would be perfect!

  97. Mindy says

    I would love to win a blue one. We have one for my oldest son. My other little guy will need to to move out of his crib soon and I’m not sure I’m ready to take Big Brother’s away.

  103. Ruth says

    I am a follower on googleconnect! And would LOVE to win. I will be transitioning my almost 2 year old to a big boy bed soon.

  104. Ruth says

    I “liked” summer infant on facebook. Would love to win one for my son who will soon be moving to a big boy bed!

  113. Heather says

    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 :)

    Heather

  114. Vee says

    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

  121. Kasey Jo Doggett says

    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!

  123. sus says

    Would love these for my little one that just moved into a big bed – we’ve been looking for something like this.

  126. MommaWebb says

    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!

  127. MommyJoc says

    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!

  129. Jennifer A says

    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. :)

  134. Meredith Nassihi says

    I would love the pink ones, it amazes me how much pink came into my house with our little girl.

  135. Jl Johnson says

    My daughter is going to move into a big girl bed soon and these would be great!
    luckyseattlemom at gmail dot com

  140. Amanda says

    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!

  142. Amanda says

    I follow you – via FB – and you’re in my blogger news feed.

    Thanks for the giveaway! :)

  143. Kelly says

    We have been talking about the right timing for switching our daughter out of her crib. We’re thinking about in the next couple of months.

  157. J Webster says

    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.

  158. Jessica says

    We’re not even close to a big boy bed, yet, but I always like to plan ahead. :) This is a cool product!

  161. Ariel says

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway! I’d like to win this. We used to have one, but loaned it out and it never made it back to us :( Our second is going to be transitioned by Christmas for the arrival of the third. Gulp!

  165. Kati C. says

    My 2 year old just climbed/fell out of his crib for the first time two days ago and it was horrible. I was downstairs and heard the terrifying thud followed by screaming and I’ve been trying to figure out a new sleeping plan ever since. This would be perfect!!

  170. Carmen E. says

    My baby girl isn’t quite ready to transition to a big girl bed yet…but when she does, we definitely need one of these! :)

  172. Carol Gordon says

    This would alleviate almost all my worries about moving to the big girl bed! Falling out and getting her to stay in are huge anxieties for me! Thanks so much for giving away peace of mind in a package!

  173. GretchenP says

    my daughter is such a peanut.. i feel like she’s going to need this for the transition. thanks for the giveaway!! :)

  178. Carmen says

    Even though I have a girl, I think the blue would fit better in her room. Thanks for the giveaway!

  183. Stephanie C says

    Would love this for my two little girls, 9 months and 2 years. I follow you on Facebook. Love your site!

  185. Stephanie C says

    Sorry, please ignore my last post. My mind must not be completely working this late. I like Summer Infant on Facebook :)

  194. Dawn S. says

    Oooo we need these! We have them at my mom’s for my son to sleep in the twin bed at her house since he doesn’t tolerate the Pack N Play anymore, but now that Baby #2 is on the way, we need to help him transition out of his toddler-converted-crib here at home too! They work great and are so easy!!

  204. Katie says

    I would love to win this. :) My little Avery is almost 2 and we’ll be moving to a big bed soon. We would want the pink for her. Thank you! (And thank you for this awesome blog). :)

  205. Melanie says

    I would love to win this. I have a 22 month old that is in a toddler bed right now but will have to move to a bigger bed early next year when baby #3 comes!

  209. Erin says

    I just got my son a single rail and use a body pillow on the other side. This is just what I need!

  213. Stephanie W. says

    I’d love to win this bed rail! It looks nice and tall, whereas the one we have no seems only about five inches. This one seems much safer! Thanks for the opportunity!

  216. Naomi Marks says

    This would be great for my family – I have 3 kids under 3 and trying to figure out who to have on a mattress, who in a crib, and who in a toddler bed or a regular bed!

  219. Heather says

    Would love the blue one for when we transition our little guy from the crib! He has a little brother/sisiter on the way…so this would come in handy for both!

  224. onemotherslove says

    I’ve got one that’s ready to move up to a big girl bed so that the baby can move up from bassinet to crib! This sure would make me feel better! But it won’t keep her in bed! : )

  226. mary says

    this looks great! i’d get blue, even though i have a girl. more gender neutral for future kids!

  227. Abby S says

    I’d love to win this! It’s just that time to move my daughter into a “big girl” bed! Blue would go better with the decor.

  235. Nancy Ellis says

    I would LOVE one of these for our daughter! She has a full size bed that is against one wall, and I only have sheets on the bed because I hate to have to take the rail apart to make the bed each day. I think I’m going to have to invest in a set if I don’t win! :)

  238. Michelle says

    I just found your websire tonight and I LOVE all your ideas. I have 2 little ones that I stay home with and am always looking for new ideas to do with them to encourage their creativity and love for learning. :-) This contest was a nice surprise since we’re switching my oldest to a full size bed from a toddler bed with a rail!

  240. Jennie says

    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!
