For some parents, portable toddler travel beds are must-haves to provide young children with a secure place to sleep while on vacation. “Simpler is always better, especially when thinking of traveling with toddlers . So, when it comes to a toddler travel bed, you don't need all the bells and whistles,” says Anjuli Gans, MD, a pediatrician at the Karabots Pediatric Care Center in West Philadelphia. “There are a lot of fancy ones out there on the market, but your baby really just needs a safe and comfortable place to sleep ."

We spent hours testing these products (20 total) in the lab and our homes by assembling and disassembling them—sometimes with one hand—and timing the whole process. We also studied the beds' features, how well they hold a toddler's weight, and how easy they are to clean. Our list shows the best toddler travel beds we’ve tested, which we’ll continue to update as we test new models.

Best overall, jetkids by stokke cloudsleeper.

Assembly 5 /5
Portability 5 /5
Ease of Use 5 /5

Why We Like It

If you plan to hit the road with your little one and need a toddler travel bed that is comfortable and easy to travel with, then the JetKids by Stokke CloudSleeper Kids Inflatable Bed is our top pick for you. Designed for children ages 3 and up, this travel bed features side bumpers to keep your child from rolling onto the floor. There's also an air mesh cover to keep your child cool at night.

We loved this inflatable bed's unique design, which is very easy to fill up and took us only five minutes to put together and inflate, which is great when traveling with little kids. And since it's light and comes with a small bag with handles, so it's easy to move around. The mattress also has a removable and washable cover that can be spot-cleaned and dries quickly, so your little one can get back to bed.

When you’re done with it, deflate the mattress, pack it back into its packing cube, and you're good to go!

But Take Note

Setup is incredibly easy, thanks to an integrated pump that lets you inflate the mattress in minutes by using your hands or feet. It’s meant to lie on the floor, so there’s no additional assembly required. Although we noticed it can sound a bit noisy when a child moves on it. Otherwise, we didn't experience any additional issues.

The Details

Material: Nylon
Weight: 4.1 pounds
Size: 59.1 x 29.5 x 6.7 inches inflated; 15 x 11 x 4 inches in travel bag
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: Ages 3 years and up; up to 68 pounds

Best Inflatable

Eltow inflatable toddler bed.

Amazon

Assembly 4.5 /5
Value 4.5 /5
Ease of Use 4.5 /5

The Eltow Inflatable Toddler Bed is portable and easy to set up, and it comes at a lower price than our top pick, the Stokke. Unlike other inflatables, the Eltow toddler travel bed consists of an outer section with bumpers on two sides and a mattress that fits snugly inside the outer shell. It's not sitting directly on the floor but is at floor level.

We love that it took us just five minutes to set up and is lightweight and portable . It comes with a high-speed pump, two patches in case of punctures, and a travel bag for storage. And thanks to a vinyl layer that protects against punctures, it's well-equipped to withstand wear and tear. Plus, it comes with a bag, so it's super portable. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a sheet, so you'll have to pack one in your luggage.

One flaw is that the mattress has a plastic smell that sticks around for a few hours once the mattress is removed from its packaging. (It should go away if you allow the product to air out for a day or two before use.) Assembly is straightforward, but removing the pump nozzle without losing air can be difficult when done alone, so we recommend getting a partner to help you out.

Material: Vinyl
Weight: 10.21 pounds
Size: 63 x 40 x 12 inches inflated
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: Up to 310 pounds

Best With Pump

Hiccapop inflatable toddler travel bed.

Ease of Setup 5 /5
Ease of Cleaning 4.5 /5

The Hiccapop Inflatable Toddler Travel Bed is ideal for parents who want their toddler close to the ground with bumpers on all sides of the bed. A removable mattress rests in a higher outer shell that ensures your little one cannot roll off. It's designed for kids making that transition between cribs and big-kid beds, and it's easy to deflate and pack into its carrying bag before moving to your next destination.

Setup is relatively quick once you get the hang of detaching the electric pump, and it's easy to move around with the handles. Another plus: It comes with a patch kit. The handles are not as easy to clean as the rest of the bed, but we do appreciate that the removable mattress comes in three different colors for kids who definitely have their design preferences.

The mattress has a faint chemical smell at first, but it's not as eye-watering as some of the other inflatables we tested. It's also very durable due to its thick vinyl material .

Weight: 8 pounds
Size: 62 x 39 x 12 inches inflated

Best for Camping

Enerplex kids inflatable travel bed.

This puncture-proof toddler travel bed can be used during trips or at home as a transitional bed for toddlers who are still in that in-between stage. A 120-volt electric pump (and three universal nozzles) is a game changer and makes inflating the bed a breeze. We love how quickly and easily this bed can be put together: It took us five minutes to blow up both parts of the bed and attach a fitted sheet. Best of all, we didn’t even need to glance at the instructions while doing so.

Even though the bed is bulky, it comes with a large carry bag that you can wear as a backpack, freeing your hands for luggage or a kid. We also like that the electric pump comes with an adapter for your car, making it ideal for camping. It can be wiped down and the crib sheet can be tossed in the laundry for cleanup. One downfall: It has a chemical smell.

Material: Not listed
Weight: 11.88 pounds
Size: 66 x 44 x 13 inches inflated
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: 36 months and up; up to 150 pounds

Best Pop-Up Crib

Babybjörn travel crib light.

Durability 5 /5
Portability 4.2 /5
Design 5 /5

The BabyBjorn Travel Crib is a great option for parents who prefer more of a crib design than an inflatable mattress. Toddlers who need more than bumpers to keep them safe in bed can benefit from this travel crib’s high mesh walls and a mattress that sits low to the floor—which means it's difficult to climb in and out of, let alone roll off of. You won’t need to worry about messes or nighttime accidents because the fabric can be wiped down quickly, and the exterior fabric can be removed from the frame and washed.

The BabyBjorn is a dream to assemble: Setup takes two minutes, and you can put a standard crib sheet on the bed without a struggle, even after attaching the mattress to the four corner safety latches. The mattress is comfortable and a standard crib size . It is also a good pick if you need a travel bed that isn't hard on your back. It is very light, it comes with a carrying case, and it fits into a car trunk. However, the mattress does lie low to the ground, so picking up your child may be tough on your back if they are lying down.

The main reason this crib isn't our top pick is that it's much more expensive than most of the other products on this list, but it's a worthwhile investment if you have the room in your budget.

Material: Polyester
Weight: 13 pounds
Size: Mattress 23.5 x 41 x 1.2 inches; assembled crib 32 x 44 x 24 inches; 19 x 23.5 x 5.5 inches in bag
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: 0-3 years, or until your toddler can climb out of this travel crib

Verywell Family / Jessica Juliao

Best Budget

Hugbino inflatable toddler bed.

Assembly 4 /5
Ease of Use 4 /5

The Hugbino provides a lot of the same features as other inflatable mattresses on this list, but at a lower price. The removable mattress is coated in soft velvet flocking to keep your little one comfortable while they snooze, and bumpers along all four sides of the outer shell keep them in bed. It's also a cinch to clean. We appreciate that the mattress can be spot-cleaned, and a sheet can go over the mattress for extra protection.

This inexpensive bed does come with an electric pump, but the setup is not as easy as with other travel beds we tested. We had to use two sets of hands to get the nozzle on before it started to deflate. However, it is light and easy to store and comes with a carrying bag .

Material : Polyvinyl chloride
Weight: 6.63 pounds
Size: 63.6 x 42.5 inches inflated
Recommended Age/Weight Limit : Not listed

Best Crib to Fly With

Guava family lotus travel crib.

Ease of Setup 4.5 /5
Portability 4 /5
Value 3.8 /5
Ease of Cleaning 4 /5

This crib can’t make traveling on a plane with a toddler less challenging, but it can simplify your life when you get to your destination. In terms of ease of use, this travel bed only took us five minutes to set up and didn't require too much prep work to understand how to put it together. The setup process isn't as straightforward as other travel beds we tested, but it's not difficult.

An access door makes it easier to get to your little one without leaning over the side. You can use the entrance to lay them on the padded, waterproof mattress inside the mesh enclosure or let them go in and out of the crib when they are awake. The mattress is easy enough to wipe, but the fabric around the top of the crib is so absorbent that it's tough to give it a good cleaning. You can also unzip the bed cover and throw it into the washer for a deep clean. This convenience does come at a higher price than a lot of competitors, however.

We like the travel crib's packaging, which comes with shoulder and backpack straps that make it easy to carry around in an airport. It is a tad heavy, however.

Material: Polyvinyl chloride
Weight: 13 pounds, 15 pounds with bag
Size: Mattress 41.5 x 23.5 x 1.4 inches; crib 45.5 x 31.5 x 25.5 inches; 24 x 12 x 8 in backpack
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: 0-3 years, or until child can climb out

Best for Naps

Milliard toddler nap mat.

The Milliard Toddler Nap Mat Tri Folding Mattress can be used for napping anywhere. Simply unfold it at the hotel, a relative's house, or a camping tent, and your little one is good to get their sleep on. It doesn't come with a carrying case, which may make it a pain to carry. But if your toddler spills a drink or has an accident on this mattress, the good news is that it's effortless to clean: It has a removable bamboo cover that can be machine-washed and a foam mattress that can be spot-cleaned. Plus, it's got a cozy, thick mattress that's comfortable for naptime.

This folding mattress doesn't require any assembly—just take it right out of the box. However, after unboxing, it takes 48 hours to reach the highest comfort level.

Material: Foam mattress, bamboo cover
Weight: 8.74 pounds
Size: 58 x 24 x 3 inches unfolded; 24 x 19 x 9 folded

Intex Dura-Beam Deluxe Air Mattress

Comfort 5 /5
Effectiveness 3 /5

The Intex Dura-Beam Standard Series Pillow Rest Raised Airbed is a good pick for families who want a larger travel bed without bumpers that’s a little higher off the floor (16.5 inches) than the toddler beds on this list. A built-in pump makes for easy assembly, since you just turn the panel to either inflate or deflate, and you’re done! When it needs a cleaning, just wipe down as needed.

The mattress comes with a duffel bag for storage and travel, but it's not the most compact, and the bag isn't as comfortable as others we tested. On the plus side, the bed has a built-in pillow rest , so you won’t have to pack an extra pillow for your kid when you travel.

Weight: 10.16 pounds
Size: 75 x 39 x 16.5 inches inflated
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: Up to 300 pounds

Our Testing Process and Experts

To find the best toddler travel beds, we tested 20 beds in the Parents Testing Lab and in our own homes. We first tried to assemble the travel beds—with one hand, if possible. After that, we noted whether we needed to use both hands or had to get another adult to help. We also timed just how long the setup took for each bed. We then tested how well the toddler travel beds hold a toddler's weight using a 25-to-30-pound sandbag.

Next, we looked at how hard it would be to clean messes on the beds, examining hard-to-reach areas and taking note of the material and what it felt like to wipe it. We tested whether we could use a standard crib sheet as well, and then we tried to disassemble the beds one-handed. After breaking them down, we considered how long it took us and how difficult it was to place the beds inside their carry bags, if bags were included. Finally, we lifted the carrying bags to assess the beds’ portability.

In addition to lab and real-world testing, we spoke with medical experts to gather their input on how to choose a toddler travel bed. We spoke to the following experts:

Anjuli Gans , MD, a pediatrician at Karabots Pediatric Care Center, West Philadelphia
Lynelle Schneeberg , PsyD, a pediatric sleep psychologist and author

Factors to Consider in a Toddler Travel Bed

Comfort: As you’ve probably realized when getting a kid to sleep at home, comfort is key. Comfort for some toddlers may mean a favorite blanket, while others require a crib. Parents should consider various must-haves to make traveling easier and smoother when trekking across the country—or a few hours away—with your little one.
Safety: Dr. Gans recommends researching products on the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) website to determine their safety and ensure that they haven't been recalled. When purchasing a crib or bassinet, parents of babies should also practice the same safe sleeping rules they implement at home. "Every toddler travel bed has age and weight requirements, so I would definitely check those first and make sure it matches up (with your toddler's age and weight)," she explains. Then, stick to simple beds without all the added features. "The less they have, the better.” Once you've narrowed down your selection to simple beds, make sure there are no bumpers or parts that can potentially trap your baby, and check corner points and sharp corners. "Corner points are sometimes a place where kids can get clothing caught or get injured, so make sure it doesn't have sharp corners," explains Dr. Gans. "And remember that pillows and blankets are still recommended for toddlers age 2 and over."
Ease of Use: If you need a toddler travel bed that is easy to carry, quick to assemble, and doesn't require much work, then ease of use and portability must be considered when selecting a toddler travel bed. Some toddler travel beds can be assembled using one hand and only take minutes to assemble. That is very helpful if you arrive at a destination with a sleeping or cranky tot . You may want to look for bags that allow hands-free carrying. Another consideration is whether the bed is easy to put in those bags so you don’t find yourself fighting to pack it back in when it’s time to go home. If you are in a situation where you don't have a toddler travel bed, don't worry. "If you are staying somewhere, and they allow you to request a crib, you can pull out the mattress and just lay it on the floor," Dr. Gans adds. "If it's in a safe place for your toddler, then it is perfectly fine. Make sure it is somewhere they can have adult supervision at all times and within eye view, because you may not be able to safetyproof rooms the way you can at home."

How can I keep my toddler in bed while traveling?

A pack-and-play or travel bed with inflatable bumpers (which are not recommended for babies, of course!) can help keep a toddler from rolling onto the floor. You can also bring along some of their favorite items from home to help them want to stay in bed in a strange new place.

"The best thing to do when traveling is to bring along items from the child's home bedroom," recommends Dr. Schneeberg. "Parents can bring along the child's favorite pillow, 'bedtime buddy' (security object), and favorite books, for example. If the child is used to a certain night light or a sound machine , these can be brought along as well."

Can my 2-year-old sleep in a travel cot?

Certain travel cots are appropriate for 2-year-olds, but young 2-year-olds who haven't yet transitioned to a toddler bed may be more comfortable and safer in more crib-like pack-and-plays or travel beds with safety rails.

Can I put my 3-year-old in a toddler cot?

Unless a manufacturer suggests otherwise (usually based on a child's weight or height), most toddler travel cots are appropriate for 3-year-olds who have already transitioned from a crib to a bed.

How much is a toddler travel bed?

A high-quality travel toddler bed will generally cost between $60 and $100, although some can be cheaper, and certain models can cost upwards of $200. Pricier travel beds often come with more accessories and features, although not every family will need extra bells and whistles.

The Best Portable Bed Rails for Travel with Toddlers

This page may contain affiliate links, which means that we may earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

One of the most challenging parts of traveling with a toddler can be figuring out the best sleep option for your child. There are a lot of possibilities out there and it can be overwhelming deciding what to go with.

We’ve tried a lot of different sleep configurations with our kids while traveling over the years, and we know that finding the right setup for your child can make a huge difference on your trip.

One travel item that can be very helpful while traveling with toddlers is a portable bed rail. This is a product that goes under your child’s sheet to make a barrier at the edge of your child’s bed. These rails create a boundary for your child and prevent them from falling out of the bed onto the floor while they are sleeping.

Portable bed rails are perfect for older toddlers as well as older kids who tend to move around a lot while sleeping.

There are several different portable bed rails for toddlers to choose from and we’ve reviewed the best options for you here. Read on to find the perfect portable bed rails for your trip!

Best portable bed rails for travel with toddlers

Hiccapop inflatable bed rail.

The Hiccapop Inflatable Bed Rail is sturdy, lightweight, and perfect for keeping kids contained on their bed. These bed rails are designed to stay put on the bed, with a safety flap that extends beneath your child. Their weight, along with non-slip dots, keep the rail securely in place even if your child bumps up against it.

The bed rails are quick to inflate (six breaths should do it) and can be deflated by pushing the release valve button. They come with a storage case for when they are not in use.

Thick, durable vinyl prevents the rails from leaking or getting holes, but if you do have a problem the company has great customer service. They are also water resistant and washable, making them easy to clean if your child has an accident.

And, perhaps most importantly, these rails pack down very compactly and are lightweight, making them ideal for travel.

Safety flap holds rail in place
Inflates quickly
Comes with storage bag
Waterproof and washable

Possible drawbacks

Product description

Weight: 2.2 lbs
Inflated size: 52”L x 7”W x 4.5”H

Shrunks Inflatable Bed Rail

Another option is the highly-rated Shrunks Inflatable Bed Rail .

This does not come with a safety flap like the Hiccapop, but instead has grip strips on the bottom to keep it in place. For the most part the strips seem to do the job in keeping the rails in place, although it does need a snug fitted sheet to prevent any movement of the rail.

It comes with a manual pump but can also be blown up with your mouth. A large opening in the air valve allows the rails to be inflated and deflated quickly.

These bed rails are made of durable, high grade PVC and are waterproof and washable for easy cleaning.

When not in use they fold down very compactly and are easy to pack in the storage bag. They are also extremely lightweight, making them convenient for travel!

Comes with manual pump
No flaps to secure it under child
Weight: 1.43 lbs
Inflated size: 48”L x 7”W x 4”H

Sunnyglade Portable Bed Rail

Another option similar to the Shrunks is the Sunnyglade Portable Bed Rail . Made of durable PVC, this bed rail is water resistant and easy to clean. It fits underneath the bedsheet and is held in place by grip strips on the bottom of the bed rail.

A manual foot pump is included, although there are a lot of complaints about the pump not being very useful. You can also choose to inflate the bed rails with your mouth if the pump isn’t doing it for you.

These bed rails are easy to pack for travel and will take up very little space in your luggage.

Comes with foot pump
Water resistant
Weight: 2.29 lbs
Inflated size: 48”L x 7”W x 5”H

Ushma Travel Bed Rails for Toddlers

For a more budget-friendly option, the Ushma Travel Bed Rails are another inflatable bed rail at a lesser price.

Like the Shrunks bed rail, these rails are made of waterproof PVC material. Grip strips on the bottom of the rail, along with positioning them securely under the fitted sheet, prevent the rails from moving while your child is sleeping.

Because they are inflatable, these rails are lightweight and can fold down very compactly for easy packing.

As a less expensive alternative to the other inflatable bed rail options, these rails still provide a good user experience to help keep kids secure at night.

Low price point
No safety flaps
Weight: 1.48 lbs

Milliard Travel Bed Bumper

For a non-inflatable option, you might want to consider the Milliard Travel Bed Bumper . This foam bumper fits under the sheet to provide a secure barrier for your child.

The bumper folds in half to make it more compact for travel and has a handle for easy carrying. It requires virtually no setup, just unfold the bumper and place it under the sheet!

Included with the bumper is a removable, machine-washable cover. The cover has a waterproof backing to prevent the foam from getting damaged should an accident occur. It is made of a soft, comfortable material and has a non-slip bottom to keep the bumper secure on the bed.

The biggest drawback to this bumper is that it doesn’t pack down as compactly as the inflatable options. While this might be a good option for road trips or local travel, it does take up a lot of space in a suitcase, especially if you’re bringing two.

No risk of product deflating
Machine-washable cover with waterproof backing
Does not pack as compactly

Why use a bed rail for toddlers

There are a couple of different scenarios where you might want to use a portable bed rail for your child.

The first is if you’re staying somewhere where your child will have their own adult-sized bed . In this situation there is the risk of them rolling off the edge of the bed while they are sleeping. Putting a bed rail on both sides of the bed will create a safety barrier to prevent your child from falling.

Another situation where a bed rail can come in handy is if you are sharing a bed with your child . Your body will provide a barrier on one side and a bed rail on the opposite side of the bed will create a barrier on that side as well.

These bed rails can also be used as a divider between kids who are sharing the same bed . Our kids tend to move around a lot while sleeping. When they share a bed it often ends with one child rolling on top of the other and then both of them waking up screaming. Not fun for anyone. Putting a bed rail in between children in the middle of the bed can help to keep them on their own side and prevent any middle of the night wakeups.

Tips for using bed rails for toddlers during travel

Try it out before you leave

Plan on pulling out your portable bed rail and trying it out before you travel. Especially with the inflatable ones, there is always a chance (though slim) that you could get one with a leak. You don’t want to find that out when you’re already on your trip!

Plus it’s helpful to get a sense of how the bed rails work and if they are going to be a good option for your child.

Place it under the fitted sheet

These bed rails all work best when placed under the bottom sheet on your child’s bed. This helps to hold them securely in place even if your child bumps into them during the night.

Alternatives to using portable bed rails

There are a few other alternatives to using bed rails during travel with toddlers. We’ve listed a few other ideas below so you can choose the best option for your trip.

Toddler sleeping in a portable toddler bed

Pillow border

One alternative to using a bed rail is using pillows to create a border around your child on the bed. The nice thing about using pillows is that it means you have one less thing to bring with you on your trip.

We’ve used this option many times and it can be effective but does have some drawbacks. One is that the pillows take up more space on the bed than the bed rails. This might be fine if your child is on the bed alone, but if they are sharing with a sibling or parent it can feel really crowded as the pillows force your child more into the center of the bed.

The other downside is that pillows aren’t as secure as the bed rails. We had a couple of instances where the pillows were pushed out of place and our child actually rolled off the bed, which made us feel that this wasn’t a very safe option for our toddler.

The portable bed rails are very good at staying in place, giving you the confidence of knowing that they’ll actually be there if your child needs them.

Pool noodle

A pool noodle is another option that creates an effect similar to the inflatable bed rails.

The main drawback here is the amount of space that they take up. If you’re going on a trip where you’re driving, this can be a convenient solution if you have extra room in the car to pack them. However, if we’re flying we feel that a pool noodle would take up too much space. We would rather use that space for other items, so for us the inflatable bed rail is the more useful option for travel.

Note that a pool noodle is also not as tall or wide as the inflatable bed rails, so there is a greater chance of your child rolling over the top of it.

Toddler bed

If you’d rather have your child in their own, smaller bed, you could also consider bringing a portable toddler bed . These beds are specifically designed with toddlers in mind and are a safe and secure place for your child to sleep.

This also means that you don’t have to have a bed available for your toddler to use at your destination as you will be bringing one with you. You can set up a toddler bed anywhere to create a cozy sleep space for your child.

Toddler beds are an ideal option for younger toddlers who might climb out of the larger bed in the middle of the night.

The downside to toddler beds is that they tend to take up more space in your suitcase, whereas the portable bed rails are quite compact to pack. But they can work and are also a great option if you’re driving instead of flying.

Pack ‘n play

One final option is to use a pack ‘n play when traveling with your toddler. Pack ‘n plays are quite bulky, so if you’re flying this might not be the best option. If you’re staying at a hotel they will often have cribs available, just call beforehand to check. Sometimes Airbnbs will have pack ‘n plays available as well.

Final thoughts

Bed rails can be a perfect option for keeping your child safe and contained while sleeping on a trip. When tucked under the sheets, they create a border to prevent your child from rolling off the bed during sleep.

Although there are a lot of different sleep options out there, if you have a bed available for your child portable bed rails are compact and easy to bring when traveling. They provide an extra measure of peace of mind to both you and your child, allowing everyone to sleep better.

Traveling with toddlers isn't easy, but you can still have a wonderful time exploring new places with your family—you just need to be prepared. Toddler travel beds provide consistency and a protected sleep space, resulting in a well-rested child and a smoother trip for everyone. To help you shop for the best suited to your kid and your travel plans, we've tested dozens of travel beds , mattresses, and pack-and-plays in our lab and at home with our kids.

Why we like it.

We loved this inflatable bed's unique design, which is very easy to fill up and took us only five minutes to put together and inflate, which is great when traveling with little kids. And since it's light and comes with a small bag with handles, it's not hard to move around. The mattress also has a removable and washable cover that can be spot-cleaned and dries quickly, so your little one can get back to bed after any accidents.

When you’re done with it, deflate the mattress, pack it back into its packing cube, and you're good to go!

But Take Note

We noticed it can sound a bit noisy when a child moves on it. Otherwise, we didn't experience any additional issues.

Best Inflatable: Eltow Inflatable Toddler Bed

The Eltow Inflatable Toddler Bed is portable and easy to set up, and it comes at a lower price than our top pick, the Stokke. Unlike other inflatables, the Eltow toddler travel bed consists of an outer section with bumpers on two sides and a mattress that fits snugly inside the outer shell . It's not sitting directly on the floor but is at floor level.

Material: Vinyl
Weight: 10.21 pounds
Size: 63 x 40 x 12 inches inflated
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: Up to 310 pounds

Best With Pump: Hiccapop Inflatable Toddler Travel Bed

The mattress has a faint chemical smell at first, but it's not as eye-watering as some of the other inflatables we tested.

Weight: 8 pounds
Size: 62 x 39 x 12 inches inflated

Parents / Tamara Staples

Best for Camping: EnerPlex Kids Inflatable Travel Bed

This nearly puncture-proof toddler travel bed can be used during trips or at home as a transitional bed for toddlers who are still getting used to not having crib walls. A 120-volt electric pump (and three universal nozzles) is a game changer and makes inflating the bed a breeze. We love how quickly and easily this bed can be put together: It took us five minutes to blow up both parts of the bed and attach a fitted sheet. Best of all, we didn’t even need to glance at the instructions while doing so.

In case you worry about your toddler rolling off the mattress, the EnerPlex Kids Inflatable Travel Bed has bumpers along three sides. The removable coil-beam mattress rests snugly inside the outer shell and fits a standard crib sheet. Even though the bed is bulky, it comes with a large carry bag that you can wear as a backpack, freeing your hands for luggage or a kid. We also like that the electric pump comes with an adapter for your car , making it ideal for camping. It can be wiped down and the crib sheet can be tossed in the laundry for cleanup.

One downfall: It has a chemical smell.

Material: Not listed
Weight: 11.88 pounds
Size: 66 x 44 x 13 inches inflated
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: 36 months and up; up to 150 pounds

Best Pop-Up Crib: BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light

The BabyBjorn Travel Crib is a great option for parents who prefer more of a crib design than an inflatable mattress. Toddlers who need more than bumpers to keep them safe in bed can benefit from this travel crib’s high mesh walls and a mattress that sits low to the floor—which means it's difficult to climb in and out of, let alone roll off of. Another advantage is that you won't need to worry about punctures, as this is not an inflatable mattress. The fabric can be wiped down quickly, and the exterior fabric can be removed from the frame and washed.

The BabyBjorn is a dream to assemble: Setup takes two minutes, and you can put a standard crib sheet on the bed without a struggle, even after attaching the mattress to the four corner safety latches. The mattress is comfortable and a standard crib size . It is also a good pick if you need a travel bed that isn't hard on your back. It is very light, comes with a carrying case, and fits into a car trunk. However, the mattress does lie low to the ground, so picking up your child may be tough on your back if they are lying down.

The main reason this crib isn't our top pick is that it's much more expensive than most of the other products on this list, but it's a worthwhile investment if you have the room in your budget.

Material: Polyester
Weight: 13 pounds
Size: Mattress 23.5 x 41 x 1.2 inches; assembled crib 32 x 44 x 24 inches; 19 x 23.5 x 5.5 inches in bag
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: 0–3 years, or until your toddler can climb out of this travel crib

Parents / Jessica Juliao

Best Budget: Hugbino Inflatable Toddler Bed

Material : Polyvinyl chloride
Weight: 6.63 pounds
Size: 63.6 x 42.5 inches inflated
Recommended Age/Weight Limit : 130 pounds

Best Crib to Fly With: Guava Family Lotus Travel Crib

This crib can’t make traveling on a plane with a toddler less challenging, but it can simplify your life when you get to your destination. We like the travel crib's packaging, which comes with shoulder and backpack straps that make it easy to carry around in an airport. In terms of ease of use, this travel bed only took us five minutes to set up and didn't require too much prep work to understand how to put it together. The setup process isn't as straightforward as other travel beds we tested, but it's not difficult.

It is a tad heavy to carry for long periods of time. Also the mattress is easy enough to wipe, but the fabric around the top of the crib is so absorbent that it's tough to give it a good cleaning.

Material: Polyvinyl chloride
Weight: 13 pounds, 15 pounds with bag
Size: Mattress 41.5 x 23.5 x 1.4 inches; crib 45.5 x 31.5 x 25.5 inches; 24 x 12 x 8 in backpack
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: 0–3 years, or until child can climb out

Best for Naps: Milliard Toddler Nap Mat

This folding mattress doesn't require any assembly—just take it right out of the box. However, after unboxing, it takes 48 hours to reach the highest comfort level.

Material: Foam mattress, bamboo cover
Weight: 8.74 pounds
Size: 58 x 24 x 3 inches unfolded; 24 x 19 x 9 folded
Recommended Age/Weight Limit : Not listed

Best Twin: Intex Dura-Beam Deluxe Air Mattress

The mattress comes with a duffel bag for storage and travel, but it's not the most compact, and the bag isn't as comfortable as others we tested.

Weight: 10.16 pounds
Size: 75 x 39 x 16.5 inches inflated
Recommended Age/Weight Limit: Up to 300 pounds

To find the best toddler travel beds, we tested 20 travel beds and more than 20 pack-and-plays in the Parents Testing Lab, in our own homes, and on the road. We first tried to assemble the travel beds—with one hand, if possible. After that, we noted whether we needed to use both hands or had to get another adult to help. We also timed just how long the setup took for each bed. We then tested how well the toddler travel beds hold a toddler's weight using a 25-to-30-pound sandbag.

In addition to lab and real-world testing, we spoke with medical experts to gather their input on how to choose a toddler travel bed. We spoke to the following experts:

Factors to Consider in a Toddler Travel Bed

Comfort: As you’ve probably realized when getting a kid to sleep at home, comfort is key. Comfort for some toddlers may mean a favorite blanket, while others require a crib. Parents should consider various must-haves to make traveling easier and smoother when trekking across the country—or a few hours away—with your little one.
Safety: Dr. Gans recommends researching products on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website to determine their safety and ensure that they haven't been recalled. When purchasing a crib or bassinet, parents of babies should also practice the same safe sleeping rules they implement at home. "Every toddler travel bed has age and weight requirements, so I would definitely check those first and make sure it matches up [with your toddler's age and weight]," she explains. Then, stick to simple beds without all the added features. "The less they have, the better.” Once you've narrowed down your selection to simple beds, make sure there are no bumpers or parts that can potentially trap your child, and check corner points and sharp corners. "Corner points are sometimes a place where kids can get clothing caught or get injured, so make sure it doesn't have sharp corners," explains Dr. Gans. "And remember that pillows and blankets are still [only] recommended for toddlers age 2 and over."
Ease of Use: If you need a toddler travel bed that is easy to carry, quick to assemble, and doesn't require much work, then ease of use and portability must be considered when selecting a toddler travel bed. Some toddler travel beds can be assembled using one hand and only take minutes to assemble. That is very helpful if you arrive at a destination with a sleeping or cranky tot . You may want to look for bags that allow hands-free carrying. Another consideration is whether the bed is easy to put in those bags so you don’t find yourself fighting to pack it back in when it’s time to go home. If you are in a situation where you don't have a toddler travel bed, don't worry. "If you are staying somewhere, and they allow you to request a crib, you can pull out the mattress and just lay it on the floor," Dr. Gans adds. "If it's in a safe place for your toddler, then it is perfectly fine. Make sure it is somewhere they can have adult supervision at all times and within eye view, because you may not be able to safety-proof rooms the way you can at home."

How can I keep my toddler in bed while traveling?

A pack-and-play or travel bed with inflatable bumpers (which are not recommended for babies, of course!) can help keep a toddler from rolling onto the floor. If your child is still sleeping in a crib at home, you will probably want to keep them in a pack-and-play or travel crib while traveling. You can also bring along some of their favorite items from home to help them want to stay in bed in a strange new place.

"The best thing to do when traveling is to bring along items from the child's home bedroom," recommends Dr. Schneeberg. "Parents can bring along the child's favorite pillow, 'bedtime buddy,' and favorite books, for example. If the child is used to a certain night-light or a sound machine , these can be brought along as well."

Can my 2-year-old sleep in a travel cot?

Can I put my 3-year-old in a toddler cot?

Unless a manufacturer suggests otherwise (usually based on a child's weight or height), most toddler travel cots are appropriate for 3-year-olds who have already transitioned from a crib to a bed.

Best RV Bunk Bed Rails, Safety Nets and Bumpers

By: Author Couch Potato Camping

Posted on Published: March 8, 2023 - Last updated: March 12, 2023

Categories Camping Gear

Camping with kids is fun until you try to figure out how to prevent them from rolling off their narrow bunk beds or over-the-cab mattress. Many RV beds that are geared for children to sleep on are high off the ground, which can lead to a painful fall in the middle of the night. That’s why you need to buy an RV bunk bed rail or safety net .

Surprisingly, most RV manufacturers do not install children safety restraints for upper level beds that are most often used for children. (Thor Motorcoaches do install safety nets in some RVs we’ve seen.)

So you will need to install a RV Bunk Bed safety net (or other restraint) yourself. You can rest easier at night when you use a bunk red rail, a bed safety net or a soft bed bumper to keep babies and kids from rolling out of their bed.

When traveling with children, this is a small investment (around $30-50) that can have a huge impact on your family. No one needs to find emergency care for a fall when out in the middle of nature and away from urgent medical care.

Helpful Tip: For over-the-cab mattresses, have children sleep with their feet pointing towards the inside of the RV, rather than sleeping horizontally on the mattress. This way, if they roll they will roll into the walls, not off the bed onto the floor. It’s still a good idea to have safety rails, but this is an extra layer of protection.

You’ll also want to see our top picks for the best RV sheets !

Best RV Bunk Bed Rails

Please keep in mind that most of the bed rails and bed safety nets available are intended for use with a box spring or a mattress frame. RVs generally do not have these options.

Buying one of those systems will only lead to frustration and a delay in using a safety restraint for a bed. We’ve picked the best items that will work specifically for campers , so you don’t have to do any more research.

Foam Bed Rail Bumper

Among the easiest solutions is to use a foam bed guard rail . These foam bumpers are soft and require no installation or tools whatsoever!

The foam bumpers look like really wide pool noodles! They are made of a soft foam molded into a steep curve so that kids and adults won’t roll over the bumper in the middle of the night.

Unlike using just pillows, these foam bed bumpers have non-stick grips on on the bottom, plus a non-slip grip pad to keep it securely in place.

The cover can be removed and washed, which is always important with bedding. The entire bumper is designed to be put underneath a fitted sheet, so it will stay protected and relatively unobtrusive when using.

These soft bed rails can be moved and tucked into a corner during a travel day, or for when you or your kids want to stretch out in bed to watch TV or play a game.

Expect to pay between $30-45 for one to two foam bed rails.

If you are tight on space, consider this travel foam safety bed rail . It folds in half and packs away, taking up less room in your RV during the day.

Inflatable Bed Bumpers

Perhaps you are worried about the grandchildren rolling out of their bunk beds, but they don’t travel with you all of the time. That is when inflatable bed guards are a great idea!

These Inflatable Bed Rails are easy to inflate or deflate. When you are not using them, the air can be let out of the inflatables and packed away easily.

This 2-pack is surprisingly affordable, and can be used on two different beds. Grip strips underneath the bed guards will help to keep from slipping.

If you travel frequently, not just by RV, these are great to have because they are so easy to pack. So if you cruise or stay in a hotel or guest house with children, you can bring these easier than the long molded bed guards.

ComfyBumpy Three-Way Bed Rail

We don’t know of any RV that has box springs for the beds used by kids. Yet so many bed rails can only be secured by a box spring, which doesn’t make sense in a camper. That’s why we are thrilled with this ComfyBumpy bed rail that can be used in three different ways, including:

Drilling into a wood base
Using with slats
Attaching to a box spring

The variety of uses is important because not every RV bed is the same and you want flexibility to use with your rig and to possibly use in another RV should you need to.

This bed rail comes in two different colors and two different sizes to customize for your unique needs. It is a universal fit for all bed sizes, from single to King size mattresses.

The bed rail easily folds down out of the way. There is no need to worry about installation for the three ways of attaching it to a bed. Video tutorials are included for ease of installation.

This bed rail guard is very similar, but comes in an additional color.

Waterproof Safety Bumper with Straps

Similar to a foam safety bumper, this waterproof wedge safety bumper is secured to the mattress with long straps similar to a seat belt.

It’s easy to use this system with RV mattresses of different thicknesses and sizes, because the straps are pulled tight and secured.

The extra long size will fit over or under the sheets. The waterproof cover is perfect for kids who have night time accidents.

Two different patterns are available.

DIY Bunk Bed Rails

Many RVers have made their own bed rails customize to their RVs. If you are looking for something permanent and aren’t afraid to use power tools, you can build your own from lumber.

Here are some ideas of how to make wooden bed rails.

Less Junk, More Journey built a toddler bedroom in their Airstream, along with wooden bunk bed rails. Here’s how they did it:

Best Toddler Bed Rails of 2024

When it comes to toddler bed rails, it’s not about keeping them in—it’s about making sure they don’t fall out., by danielle halibey.

Transitioning from a crib to a big-kid bed is a significant milestone in your toddler’s journey, but it also brings a unique set of bedtime challenges. With newfound freedom comes the risk of accidental falls, restless rolling and those middle-of-the-night flailing fests that can leave you anxious you’ll be roused from sleep by a loud thud and tears to follow.

That’s where toddler bed rails come to the rescue. Beyond providing a sense of security, these trusty bed companions can offer you peace of mind and let you sleep soundly so you’re not worrying about your toddler tumbling out of bed.. In this guide, we’ll explore the best toddler bed rails on the market today and provide some key safety considerations to inform your purchases.

BABY JOY Baby Joy Bed Rail for Toddlers

Versatility is always a good thing—after all, children’s sleeping arrangements can change as they grow, and not all families have the same bed sizes. A bed rail that can fit any bed size promises that you can use it on various beds in your home, from twin and full-sized beds to larger adult-sized beds. Total money and storage-space saver! Baby Joy’s Bed Rail for Toddlers is a great choice if you need a reliable bed rail that accommodates any bed size because its innovative design provides maximum safety and peace of mind for both parents and toddlers. It features a lightweight anchor system that slides snugly under standard-sized beds, and you can adjust the included fastening belt to sure up its fit on slats (you will need to purchase separate straps to affix to round slats, though), spring boxes or wooden bases. And the angle of the rail can be easily toggled anywhere from zero to 180 degrees to let your little hop out of bed when they need to.

Bonus? You can get the popular rail in four different colorways and opt for the extra-long, 71-inch versus standard 59-inch rail if you’re outfitting a bigger bed.

Most Comfortable Toddler Bed Rail

Comfy Bumpy Toddler Bed Rail Guard for Kids

Your toddler might feel better about going to sleep at night if they’re tucked into bed with enclosures all around (hashtag throwing back to their “cozy crib days”), but if they feel all the bumps and lumps from said safety rail, will they actually sleep? That’s what we love about Comfy Bumpy’s Toddler Bed Rail Guard, which sports a triple-way attachment system to fit every type of bed imaginable, from converted toddler beds to king-size mattresses and everything in between. (Velcro to attach to slat bases, adjustable straps to wrap around box springs and screws to build it directly into a wooden base.)

The magic of this rail is in the flat iron bars that fit snugly underneath the mattress, keeping the= sleeping surface plush and undisturbed. Taking things further, the bed rail also features inviting soft side/frame padding that’ll ease your and your toddler’s nerves about bumping their face in the middle of the night. And last but not least, easy installation ensures you can set it up quickly and hassle-free—the brand even includes a five-minute video instruction guide (with purchase) to help the visual learners among us figure it out!

hiccapop Toddler Bed Rail Bumper

Looking for something that doesn’t feel as confining as the traditional metal bed rails? The hiccapop Toddler Bed Rail Bumper is in a class of its own, for taking all the tediousness out of installation and eliminating risks of accidental falls overnight. How does this “cage-less” option do it? By fitting seamlessly under your kiddo’s bed sheet, flanking the sides of their bed. With its silicone-beaded, non-skid fabric, it firmly stays in place and acts as the perfect barrier. And unlike traditional bed rails that can make the process of getting out of bed a lot more challenging for tiny bodies, hiccapop’s low-profile design gives your child a lot more freedom of movement and fosters their independence. Soft, cushioned construction keeps it comfortable, and hypoallergenic, non-toxic, phthalate, lead and BPA-free materials mean your kids can lay, drool and hug their bumper(s) to their hearts’ content. You can even bring it with you on vacations if you’ll be sharing a bed with your toddler and want a soft and cozy divider to keep them from bed-hogging or spooning a little too closely (it happens, we know!).

Best Low-Profile Toddler Bed Rail

Munchkin Sleep Toddler Bed Rail

For parents keen on protection and aesthetics, you can find both in the Munchkin Sleep Toddler Bed Rail. The low-profile design reaches a maximum height of 18 inches and a width of 36 inches, so it’s a pretty compact safety measure. It provides that secure barrier without obstructing your little one’s view (or yours when you want to check up on them at night) or making them feel trapped; moreover, it also boasts a curved silhouette and clean minimalistic gray colorway that vibes with any modern bedroom decor. Fortunately, being streamlined and discreet doesn’t mean it’s less safe. Not only do the strong safety straps eliminate the gap between the mattress and the rail, reducing the risks of accidental entrapment, the push-button hinge mechanism is very toddler-friendly. Whether it’s for a quick trip to the bathroom or an impromptu visit to your room for a post-nightmare pep talk, your child can fold their rail down safely and easily to “escape” when they need to.

Best Washable Toddler Bed Rail

Dreambaby Savoy Fold Down Bed Rail for Boxspring Beds - White

Kids are messy point-blank, but toddlers who are potty training, braving stomach bugs (the stains, the smells, ugh it’s rough!) or even spitting out medicine if you come in with a nighttime dose of yucky cough syrup? They can be the biggest culprits of bed rail stains and stickiness. So, if a rail with washable features is a top priority, look no further than the Dreambaby Savoy Fold Down Bed Rail. Thanks to an easily detachable fabric cover, you can remove and toss it into the washing machine for a clean anytime it’s needed. And really, hygiene is just as important as safety, when it comes to maintaining a healthy sleep environment for your child. Apart from its washability, which is truly game-changing, the extra-wide 43-inch width and 18-inch height offer exceptional safety and security for a toddler navigating the transition from crib or toddler bed to their big-kid digs. Just keep in mind that this design is suitable for flat and box spring bases only.

Best Budget-Friendly Toddler Bed Rail

Regalo Convertible Swing Down Crib Rail

There are so many toddler bed rails out there, so finding one that’ll keep your toddler safe and sound from PM and AM won’t be challenging. The bigger consideration is the extent of the investment because when safety is concerned, many parents don’t mind a splurge. The Regalo Convertible Swing Down Crib Rail delivers on both aspects (safety and affordability), though, as it provides a high level of safety and functionality at a fraction of the cost when compared to many other toddler bed rails on the market. Its all-steel construction provides durability and ensures that it can withstand everyday use, while the patented Gap Guard technology prevents any gaps between the rail and the mattress (which is secured with a snugly-tightened anchoring strap). And the swing-down capability, at just a push of a button, lets the rail swing down and out of the way when it’s not in use. Need to change the sheets or sit next to your little for storytime before bed? No problem!

What is a Toddler Bed Rail?

Remember the old-school mesh with red-trim safety rails from your childhood? The ones that your parents whipped out whenever you had to sleep in a bed that wasn’t your own (aka your grandparent’s house or when you went on vacation). Today’s toddler bed rails don’t look all that much different than they did decades ago, and they certainly serve the same purpose—preventing accidental falls during sleep—but these days, they’re designed with utmost safety in mind. Manufacturers aren’t just selling a product to keep your kiddos from falling, they’re helping you to create a much safer and more supportive sleep environment for your tiny dreamer overall.

Choosing the best bed rail for your little one involves a thoughtful gauge of their age, developmental stage and the type of bed they are using. Younger toddlers may benefit from bed rails designed specifically for toddler beds or converted cribs (though these beds typically come with rails built into their design), offering a familiar sense of enclosure. As your child grows and moves into a larger big-kid bed (a twin, full, queen or even king-size bed), longer bed rails become essential for safeguarding against nighttime spills. Additionally, when traveling or visiting relatives, portable bed rails ensure a consistent, secure sleeping environment for your child in various settings.

According to Berk, “the primary importance of bed rails for toddlers is to prevent them from accidentally rolling off the bed while asleep and either falling to the floor or hitting their head against a bedside table.” For kids who have recently transitioned from a crib to a “big-kid bed,” having a bed rail, without sharp edges or protruding corners, at their side(s)—three-quarters of the length of the bed to provide adequate fall-out protection and enough height to prevent them from rolling over it—can also contribute to a sense of safety and security, — similar to what they felt in the crib. Berk also says bed rails can act as a “deterrent” to active toddlers who may be “tempted to get up and leave their bed instead of staying put and going to sleep.”

There are so many sizes and options of bed rails to choose from, but Berk says “the most important thing is to ensure the bed rail can be attached securely to your toddler’s type of bed whether they have a box spring, slates, etc.”

Here are some of the most common types of toddler bed rails and what you should know in terms of compatibility:

Fixed Rails

These types of bed rails are designed to be attached to the side of the bed frame. They often use straps or brackets to secure them to the frame. Compatibility can vary depending on the design of the rail and the bed frame, but they’re generally compatible with most bed types, including those with box springs or slatted bases.

Folding Rails

Folding toddler bed rails are hinged, allowing them to be folded down for easy access to the bed. Like fixed rails, their compatibility depends on the design, but they typically work with a variety of bed types. Just be sure there’s sufficient space for the rail to fold down without obstruction.

Bumper-Style Rails

Bumper-style toddler bed rails are usually foam or cushioned barriers that run along the edge of the mattress. They are compatible with all bed types, including those with box springs, slats and/or platform beds. Since they don’t attach to the bed frame, they’re a great portable option.

Inflatable Rails

Inflatable toddler bed rails can fit various bed types as they are placed under the fitted sheet on the mattress. They provide a raised edge/divider to prevent rolling off the bed. They can be used with box spring beds, slatted beds or any other bed type.

Safety guidelines for toddler bed rails aren’t as clear-cut as those that pertain to the transition from crib to toddler bed . Even the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (USCPSC) most recent parameters for safer portable bed rails for children are more than a decade old. That’s why we caught up with toddler and preschool sleep expert , Jessica Berk. As a mom of two and Family Sleep Institute-Certified consultant, Berk has helped thousands of parents navigate sleep struggles—and she’s a big proponent of finding the right tools, like toddler bed rails, and fostering consistent sleep routines and habits that promote healthy and safe sleep for toddlers.

In her eight years of experience, Berk says she’s never heard of any negatives or blatant safety issues associated with bed rails, but that’s not to say that improper installation and disregard for manufacturers’ recommendations can’t lead to risks of injury, if not more.

When setting up your toddler’s bed rail, keep these safety considerations in mind:

Proper Installation and Manufacturers’ Instructions/Guidelines. Ensure that the bed rail is correctly installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and heed all of the specific assembly and attachment guidelines. Stop use altogether when the rail isn’t safe for your child anymore.
Gap Prevention. Avoid gaps between the bed rail and the mattress or between adjacent bed rails where a child’s head, body or limbs could become trapped. A gap should be no more than three inches wide.
Sturdiness and a Secure Locking Mechanism. Choose a bed rail that is sturdy and can stand up to the weight and range of motion of a sleeping toddler. (Models made with metal or wooden frames are usually the best bet for durability.) If the bed rail has a fold-down feature, locate the locking mechanism and make sure it’s not easily undone while your little one is in bed.
Age Appropriateness. Berk explains that as soon as your child moves from their crib to a toddler bed (twin, full, etc.), they can use a bed rail safely and comfortably. And her personal recommendation to clients is to wait for their child to “be at least three years old before switching from a crib to a toddler bed or big kid bed because beyond safety, it’s also a maturity/readiness call.” The majority of bed rails are recommended for children aged two to five years old. So, if your child is older than five years old, discontinue use.
Toddler Tutorials and Regular Monitoring. Even before they start sleeping with a bed rail regularly, your little one should know how to enter and exit their bed safely without trying to climb or jump over the rail. Teach them how to do it and keep an eye on them during the night to check that they’re comfortable and safe.

Falling out of bed at night while sleeping is a common fear among older adults. A safety bed rail can help alleviate that fear while at home, but what about when traveling or staying at a relative’s house?

On this page we feature two of the best travel safety bed rails and both are made by Stander.

The Bedside Econorail and Bed Rail Advantage Traveler both offer similar features at an affordable price and can be used nightly at home, or fold up easily to take along when traveling, for peace of mind while you sleep away from home.

Bedside Econorail

Bedside Econorail Safety Bed Rail

The Bedside Econorail is the most portable safety bed rail available. This travel bed rail makes it safer and easier to get in and out of bed at home or while traveling.

It weighs only 1.5 lbs. yet supports up to 300 lbs. No tools are required and the ends snap together for quick and easy assembly.

Bedside Econorail Features:

The cushion handle offers support for standing while getting in and out of bed
Portable and easy to pack and carry when traveling

Safety is the most important thing I consider when I go about with all of my camping activities, especially if it involves my own campervan.

How To Choose The Best Bed Rails For Camper Bunks?

Before purchasing bed rails for bunk beds, measure the dimensions carefully. We suggest that you take note of the length, width, and height of the sleeping space to ensure that the bed rails you choose will fit securely. Some campers may have unique bunk configurations, so we would usually check for any obstructions or design features that could affect the installation of bed rails.

Another thing we recommend is to ensure compatibility with the specific camper model and bunk design. Some campers may have built-in rail attachment points or specific requirements for bed rail installations. Confirm that the bed rails you are considering are suitable for your camper’s structure and layout.

The first thing we would advise is to consider the material and construction of the bed rails. Common materials include metal, wood, and plastic. We notice that the rails are often durable and sturdy, providing a reliable safety barrier. Wood rails may offer a more aesthetic appeal but should be well-constructed and free from splinters. Plastic rails are lightweight and easy to clean but may not be as robust as metal or wood.

When we make our choices, we usually go for the ones with the most easy options. We advise bed rails that are easy to install and remove. We know camper life often involves frequent setup and teardown, so that a user-friendly installation process can save time and effort. Look for rails that can be securely attached without the need for complex tools or additional hardware.

Yes, bunk beds generally require rails for safety reasons. Bed rails are essential components for preventing accidental falls from the elevated sleeping surfaces of bunk beds. Especially in the case of children or individuals sleeping in the top bunk, the risk of falling during sleep is higher, and bed rails serve as a crucial safety measure to mitigate this risk.

Bed rails are commonly called “guardrails” or “safety rails” for beds. Bed rails, also known as guardrails or safety rails, are essential accessories designed to enhance safety and prevent accidental falls from beds. This is especially true for elevated surfaces like bunk beds or camper bunks.

In cases where using a bed rail might not be appropriate, it is necessary that you consider options such as roll guards or foam bumpers. As a last resort, you could also ensure that the bed is lowered to the floor as much as possible.

10 of the best toddler bed guards to keep your child safe at night

The best bed rails to help make sure everyone gets a good night’s sleep, ranging from wood rails to memory foam bumpers

When your toddler is ready to move from an enclosed cot to a cot bed or toddler bed it may also be time to think about investing in a bed guard. These handy gadgets help prevent night-time falls, supporting your child as they get used to transitioning from the confines of a cot to the freedom of an open bed.

A toddler bed guard can be used from around 18 months, for as long as your little one needs it. Some children get used to their big bed very quickly, whereas others may benefit from the added protection of a guard or rail for a few more years.

Whether you use a fixed bed rail or something more portable, these products can help your toddlers stay comfortably put, giving you peace of mind and ultimately a better night’s rest.

To help us pick the very best bed guards for you, we asked parents which ones they use with their toddler and would genuinely recommend, to provide you with honest feedback.

With a bed guard you can rest easy whilst your child sleeps, but, if you need assistance in helping them get to sleep, take a look at our best sleep aids and white noise machines . Additionally, for extra peace of mind, you may wish to keep the baby monitor on for a little longer while your child sleeps. And now your toddler is roaming more freely, you might find our round-up of the best stair gates helpful.

When do you need a child bed guard?

Bed guards and rails are aimed at toddlers, with the recommended age usually being from 18 months to 5 years. Many manufacturers advise not using a bed rail on a sleeping surface that is more than 60cm from the floor, so they wouldn’t be suitable for the top bed of a bunk. Although moving from a cot to a toddler bed is an exciting milestone, there is no reason to rush the transition unless your child is endangering themselves by trying to climb out of their cot. It's often better to keep them in their cot for as long as possible.

Remember, toddler bed guards are not designed to be used with younger babies, as safe sleep guidelines say, for babies under 12 months, to keep their sleep space clear of anything that could pose a suffocation risk.

Keeley Black, a baby safety expert who runs SafeCircle babysitting, advises that toddler bed guards can be used by children up to around 5 years old. However, it may be a good idea to remove them earlier if your child is climbing over them to get out of their bed, to prevent falls and injury. The guard could be used on a single bed instead, which would give the child space at the bottom of the bed to get out safely.

What are the different types of toddler bed guards?

There are various styles of child bed guards. Some are more rigid and solid, for example those made of wood, which provide a straight-forward barrier, similar to a bunk bed rail, to stop children from falling over the side.

Other toddler bed guards are made from foam or fabric such as mesh, so they are softer and less rigid if children like to sleep up against the side.

You can also find inflatable bed guards that can be particularly handy for travelling, as they can be deflated and transported away with you.

Baby safety expert Keeley says, "The bed guard should have a clear airflow around it, so try and use mesh, wooden slatted or low rise guards where possible."

What to look for when choosing the best bed guard for your child

Safety – Baby expert, Dean Smith, director of For Your Little One has a few tips for choosing a bed guard safely. He said to always measure your toddler's bed first; the guard should not prevent them from getting in and out of bed and it should sit firmly to cover the middle of the bed, not the whole length. Similarly, he advises measuring your toddler's mattress height as you need to find one that is suitable. He also suggests making sure the bed guard is breathable as your toddler may be breathing up against the side of it during the night.

Size – As our expert Dean previously mentioned, measure your child’s bed and mattress and compare this with the dimensions of the guard you intend to buy. We've listed the dimensions of each product in our top 10 so you can make sure it won't be too long or short for your child's new bed.

Bed position – Where in the bedroom will the bed be? If the bed's in the centre of the room, with both sides open, you might need 2 bed rails to secure both sides. If the bed is placed alongside a wall then you have a natural barrier on one side and only need to guard the other.

Compatibility with your child's bed – Some child bed guards are not compatible with certain types of beds, especially divans, so check before you buy.

Portability – Do you want a rail that's permanently fixed to the bed? Or one that could be moved for times when your toddler is sleeping elsewhere, such as holidays and family visits?

Ease of cleaning – The wooden rails have the advantage of being easy to wipe down, whereas the fabric rails can usually be hand washed.

Material – Bed guards come in all different materials; inflatable, foam or wooden. It's important to consider which type of bed guard would work well for your child and their bed.

Here's our pick of 10 of the best toddler bed guards

1. costway 24-height adjustable toddler bed guard rail, £44.95, – best for adjustable height.

Dimensions: H73-102cm x W25cm x L196cm | Material: Metal frame and netting | Colours available: Grey

This bed rail is great for mattresses of all heights thanks to its 24 adjustable height settings, meaning it can range from 73 to 102cm high. It can also be lifted/lowered independently from each side making it really convenient when parents only have one hand free to help their child into bed.

The breathable mesh ensures good ventilation for your child, whilst also being transparent enough to see through to check they are safe and sleeping soundly. At 196cm it's the longest bed guard in our round up, which makes it a great choice for added safety when using with a single, double or king-size bed – however this does mean it is too long to use with a standard toddler-size bed. If you're looking for a guard to use during play as well as rest this is a good choice as the guards can link together to transform a bed into a safe play pen.

Safety features like the double lock to stop children lowering the guard themselves and the anti-collision sponge bar along the bottom are reassuring touches and we like the addition of a handy side pocket for storing books or wipes.

Assembly is required but no other tools are needed and it shouldn't take too much time.

Pros: Adjustable height, soft material, can lift each side independently, storage pocket, can link to create a play pen Cons: Quite large, not ideal for travel, assembly required, won't fit a toddler bed

Available from: B&Q , Amazon , and Costway

2. Ikea NATTAPA Guard Rail, £17

– Best for budget-buy

Dimensions: H26cm x W4cm x L96cm | Material: Fibreboard | Colours available: White

Trust Ikea to come up with one of the most simple, stylish and affordable bed guards out there. It's a small and non-intrusive way to help keep your toddler a little more secure in those early months after moving to a bed.

The Nattapa is easy to fit, and can be attached to cots with an open side, extendable beds and regular beds — so it can grow with your child. It doesn't have arms that reach under the bed, making it slightly less sturdy than those that do, but it is smaller overall so doesn't need such a strong support. Admittedly, the Nattapa is quite a hard, rigid addition to the bed, but it doesn't look too overpowering in its neutral white design. It can easily be wiped clean with a dry cloth.

Note that this bed guard will fit bed sides with a thickness of 18-22mm. If you rotate the brackets, you can fix the guard rail to beds that are 44mm thick. It must be mounted so that the end lies against the headboard, without any gap.

Pros: Good value, easy to attach, easy to clean Cons: Does not fit all beds, hard material, not as high as other bed guards

Available from: Ikea

3. BabyDan Wooden Bed Guard Rail, £69.99

– best wooden bed guard.

Dimensions : H42cm x L90cm | Material: Wood | Colours available: White

This solid and stylish wooden bed guard rail from BabyDan is made from furniture grade wood, so has a nice quality to it and should be long-lasting. But most importantly, it attaches and detaches easily, with no tools required.

BabyDan also says it's suitable for all beds (not including cribs and upper bunk beds), so you can be reassured that it'll stay secure no matter your child's style of bed.

Parent tester Tania, mum of 2, aged 14 weeks and 3, used this with her toddler and loved that you could take the side off, saying "It worked well for us; it was easy to clean and looked good."

Pros: Aesthetically pleasing, strong and sturdy, no tools needed to attach, easy to clean Cons: Not suitable for upper bunk beds, hard material

Available from: John Lewis

4. Safety 1st Portable Bed Rail, £24.95

– best for travel.

Dimensions: H42 x L106cm (assembled), H42cm x L66cm (folded) | Material: Metal frame and netting | Colours available: Dark grey and blue

This bed guard has a standard mesh design with great functionality. It can fold down to allow easy access to the bed, and it can also be folded (down to 66cm) to make it more compact and portable – great for taking with you on family visits or holiday. No assembly is required – ideal if you want something simple to install.

This bed rail is compatible with mattresses with a length greater than 156cm and a thickness from 10 to 24cm and fits slatted and standard beds.

Parent tester Joanna, mum of 2, aged 5 and 3, used this bed guard with her children when they were slightly younger and loved how "it was really sturdy, simple to use and folded down smaller for travel which was a real bonus. It did what it needed to do for both our kids."

Pros: Can be folded down compactly for travel, easy access to the bed, good value Cons: Hard metal frame, not the most visually appealing

Available from: Amazon and Smyths

5. Dreambaby Phoenix Foldable Bed Rail, £34.99

– best for easy cleaning.

Dimensions: H45.5cm x L110cm (H45.5cm x L55cm when folded)| Material: Metal frame and netting | Colours available: White and grey

The Dreambaby Phoenix Foldable bed rail is super easy to clean thanks to its removable and washable cover. It also makes getting your toddler in and out of bed easy, with its convenient fold down sides – this will be handy when making the bed, too.

The bed rail is fairly easy to install but there is assembly required. It can be quite compact, however it does have to be disassembled to fit in its carry bag so it isn't the speediest travel option.

It's suitable for divans and slatted bed bases and for mattresses between 10 to 25cm thick: it can be slightly adjusted depending on the mattress thickness.

Parent tester Lorne, mum of kids aged 2 and 4, uses this with her toddler and said, "I like the breathable mesh and that the cover is washable too. It's very sturdy and fits my child's single bed well."

Pros: Easy to clean, can be folded to a compact size Cons: Requires assembly, hard metal frame

Available from: Amazon and Dreambaby

6. Hippychick Dream Tubes Bed Guards, £50.52

– best two-sided bed guard.

Dimensions: H90 x L195cm (Dream Tubes single sheet), H70cm x L140cm (Dream Tubes cot bed sheet) | Material: Inflatable and cotton | Colours available: White

Designed by 2 mums after 1 too many sleepless nights, inflatable Dream Tubes are a slightly different option for keeping your child from rolling out of bed. Simply blow them up then pop them in the pockets of a special sheet – either cot bed or single bed size – to make a cosy barrier to help kids stay put. We love the fact that this product includes the custom sheet, which effectively keeps the bumpers (2 per pack) in place.

These are great for if your child's bed is not against a wall as you get 2 bumpers and can protect them from falling out of bed both sides. The sheet that covers the inflatable tube is also machine washable. Compared to the harder wooden and metal/mesh frames, this is much softer if your child kicks it or rolls into it.

The bumpers are very lightweight and fold up to a small handy size, making transport a doddle. You can take them with you everywhere – no more rearranging the furniture to prevent kids from rolling out of bed.

Pros: Double-sided, soft material, compact fold Cons: Needs to be inflated, has to be used with special sheet, not as high as other bed guards

Available from: Amazon , Hippychick and Room to Grow

7. Cuggl Bed Rail, £25

– best for colour choice.

Dimensions: H46cm x L92cm | Material: Metal frame and netting | Colours available: Blue, pink and grey

If style is an important consideration for you, this modern bed guard is a great choice. Available in blue, pink or light grey, it's an easy way to add a pop of colour or to blend in with your child's bedroom colour scheme.

As well as looking good, it's safe and easy-to-use, with a simple push button to fold down the panel and allow your child easy access to get in and out their bed. The child safety lock will stop them from lowering the bed guard themselves though.

The Cuggl bed rail attaches to most divan or slatted style single and toddler beds – with mattress between 8-23cm thick – using under mattress poles and straps to fix in place. It's relatively compact and lightweight, making it a convenient choice for travelling or for overnight stays with grandparents.

It's worth noting this does require some assembly before use, however illustrated step-by-step instructions are included to help.

Pros: Choice of colours, lightweight, easy to access bed with push button, can be used for travelling Cons: Requires assembly, not suitable for use with double beds, hard metal frame

Available from: Argos

8. Safetots Extra Wide Bed Rail, £39.90

– best extra-long bed guard.

Dimensions: H40cm x L140cm | Material: Metal and mesh | Colours available: White, grey and natural

Available in natural, white and grey, the Safetots Extra Wide Bed Rail provides a little bit more coverage, if you want to make extra sure that there's no room to tumble out of bed. It's another rail with the handy fold-down feature and it also comes with a travel bag to make taking it on trips that bit easier. However, it does have to be dismantled first.

This guard is suitable for cot beds, single beds and double beds with a minimum mattress length of 90cm and maximum mattress thickness of 20cm.

Pros: Provides extra long coverage, compact fold, handy fold-down feature Cons: Requires assembly, has a hard metal frame

Available from: Amazon and Safetots

9. Lindam Easy Fit Folding Bed Guard, £20.76

– best for easy installation.

Dimensions: H27cm x W9cm x L52.2cm | Material: Metal and mesh | Colours available: Grey

The affordable Lindam Easy Fit Bed Guard has a very simple design, making it easy to install, requiring no tools. It also has a standard fold-down mechanism (with secure locking) to allow you to access your child and change sheets more easily.

This bed rail is compatible with 76cm to 90cm thick mattresses and suitable for slatted, divan and ensemble bed types, but is not suitable for beds where the mattress sits within a raised frame or upper bunk beds.

Pros: Easy to install, good value, handy fold-down feature Cons: Not compatible with all beds, has a hard metal frame

Available from: Amazon and Munchkin

10. Banbaloo Rail Bed Bumper, £24.99

– best for comfort.

Dimensions: H12cm x W19cm x L134cm | Material: Memory foam | Colours available: White

For ultimate comfort, this memory foam bumper is great. If your child rolls too close to the end of the bed, they will not bump themselves on a hard metal frame, they will be gently pushed back to the middle of the bed by the soft foam bumper. It also has a non-slip cover which ensures it stays in place under the sheet.

Another great thing about this bed bumper is that it's water-resistant, so no need to worry if there are any accidents, and, if there are, it has a machine washable cover.

This option is great for allowing your child more freedom in their bed, ensuring they are safe without feeling caged in. It also means you can access your child very easily without having to move a barrier or panel out of the way.

Parent tester Natalie, mum of a 7 and 4 year old, used the foam bumper with her toddler and said, "I found them to be great and not too cumbersome. Very easy to use."

Pros: Very soft and comfortable, allows your child to feel free, water resistant Cons: Not as high as other bed guards, hard to store due to size, not suitable for travelling

Available from: Amazon

Tips for using a bed guard safely.

Baby expert Dean Smith also gave us some top tips to ensure that once you've bought a bed guard, you install and use it safely. He says:

Place the bed guard half-way down the bed so that it sits in the middle. This guarantees the safest place, as it prevents your toddler from rolling out whilst sleeping at either end of the bed.
If possible, put one side of your toddler's bed against the wall . This prevents the need to buy multiple bed guards, and offers a natural guard instead.
Make sure the bed guard is properly fitted . Follow the manufacturer's instructions and test its strength by pushing on the guard from inside the bed. If the bed guard falls or moves, it hasn't been safely fitted, and should be fixed before your toddler uses it.
Don't cover the bed guard in fabrics or clothing . This could make the bed guard dangerous, as it could prevent your child from being able to breathe when against the guard. Always make sure that the bed guard is completely breathable, and there's nothing preventing air from getting in and out.
Take the bed guard with you if you're going away , even if it's just for a night. Being in a different bed is likely to throw your toddler off when it comes to safely manoeuvring around their surroundings, so bringing the bed guard with you to make sure they sleep safely and soundly is vital.
