Bed Guards - What Are They and Why Should You Use Them?

Bed guards are a barrier used to stop a child or adult from falling out of bed. Basically they are placed along any open side of the bed, including the bottom and top if necessary, creating a 'side' against which a person can roll without harming themselves. In addition, an adult may use one to help them get up from a horizontal to a sitting position.

Toddler Guard Rail

They are most frequently used when transitioning a young child from a cot, with sides, to a normal bed. They are also very useful when a baby is co-sleeping in their parents bed to stop both the child falling out of bed and, if you choose a bed guard that sits under the sheets, a parent rolling onto a child during the night.

Toddler Guard Rail

There are a variety of bed guards available to buy from both traditional bricks and mortar high street shops and directly off the internet. Traditional shops such as Mothercare and John Lewis stock a wide variety of guards, including their own label guards, but the most comprehensive range can be found online from marketplace retailers such as Amazon and eBay.

They sell for anything from 10GDP to 50GDP each and come in a variety of styles, colours and finishes. The full range include 3 specific types of rails -

1) The traditional bed guard sits on the outside of the bed. It is fixed to the base using extendable arms which are clamped to the bed base. It then rises up the side of the bed very much like a cot side. Traditional guards come in a variety of colours and finishes including solid wood. Some are portable and some can be folded down using a hinge at the base of the guard. All these guards require assembly and are not suitable for all types of beds.

2) One of two recent additions to the bed guard family is the foam bed guard. This is a firm foam wedge which sits directly onto the mattress and is held in place with the bed sheets which sit over it. This guard requires no assembly and is suitable for all beds. It is relatively affordable compared with other guards and, as it is very lightweight, is perfect for use out of the home.

3) Another new addition is 'Dream Tubes'. This guard involves a special sheet and 2 inflatable tubes with are pushed into channels along either side of the sheet thereby creating a barrier along either side of the child. Due to the special sheet this is a relatively expensive option but it is simple to assemble and portable. It can only be used on a specific size of bed.

Each year, approximately 50 babies suffocate or strangle when they become trapped between broken crib parts or in cribs with older, unsafe designs. Many older cribs, including the one that was used for you or your younger children, do not meet all current safety standards. Even if you are on a tight budget, you should not purchase an old crib at a garage sale or accept a hand-me-down that does not meet the following guidelines: Tips for Selecting Product Infants should ALWAYS sleep in a crib, which meets current Federal and ASTM standards. The crib mattress should fit snugly with no more than two fingers width, one-inch, between the edge of the mattress and the crib side. Otherwise, the baby can get trapped between the mattress and the side of the crib. No pillow-like bumpers. Look for the JPMA Certification Seal. Tips for Use Remember to ALWAYS keep the drop side up when the baby is in the crib. NEVER place the crib near windows, draperies, blinds, or wall mounted decorative accessories with long cords. Make sure there are no missing, loose, broken, or improperly installed screws, brackets or other hardware on the crib or the mattress support. Crib slats or spindles should be spaced no more than 2 3,88221; apart, and none should be loose or missing.

Top 10 Christmas Toys For Boys

Boys have already started anticipating Christmas since this is undoubtedly the best time of the year for them; they get all the different presents and when they like them they couldn't be happier. But how can you know which toys your boy will like? You are at the right place as here we will give you a list of the Top 10 Christmas toys for boys. If you don't have a clue what to get for your little boys then now you actually have the best ideas. And you don't have to wander around the shops looking for what might be good. We have done the research for you already.

Toddler Guard Rail

Let's take a look at this year's 10 top toys for boys.

Toddler Guard Rail

1. Screature Dinosaur. Screature is a moody dinosaur. When you pet him somewhere that he doesn't like he will show his anger and attack you. But if you know the places that he likes being touched then he will be your loyal friend. He can even be set to guard you and your room. Dinosaurs are a classic favourite with children and this year it will be no exception.

2. Battle Strikers Tournament Set. The Battle Strikers are spinning tops but not like the old ones we used to know. They are actually controlled with magnets. You wear the magnet on your finger (on either hand) and you can control where the tops will go inside the arena. The arena can be on any flat surface. You can get 16 strikers and you can also modify them and later their parts. The battles can begin.

3. Rubik's 360. We knew the cube Rubik's, now it is time to meet the sphere. There are three spheres which are one inside the other. This will also be an addicting game like the first Rubik's puzzle. If you want to get your boy start thinking then this is the perfect game for him.

4. Nintendo Mini Classics. These ones have the design of the Nintendo Gameboys and they can be played like the handheld games we met back in the 80s. The games have a stand so that you can place them on. The games that you can find are Nintendo Super Mario Cement Factory, Donkey Kong Junior, Super Mario Bros and other games powered by Nintendo.

5. Flytech Bladestar . Now you can actually make something fly with the Flytech Bladestar Indoor Flyer, a creation by WooWee. This isn't a simple mini helicopter. It actually has a sensor-based Autopilot mode that enables the helicopter to avoid any obstacles, like ceilings or furniture. And there is a 3-channel IR remote control to make it fly as you like.

6. Star Wars Force Trainer. Now you can use your brainwaves and make a ball rise. The ball is inside a tower above your head. Is this magic? Who knows? Here we are talking about the Force of the Star Wars and whether you are able to master it. Children absolutely love this magical toy and can't wait to see if they are bale to do that as well.

7. Rapid Fire CS-35. The Nerf striker CS-35 has two blasting modes which include the chance to hold up to 35 darts, an adjustable stock and a tactical rail. In the package you can find 65 darts to have a hundred at least. If you want to enjoy some real battles then this is what you should get.

8. Transformer's Bumblebee helmet. Transformers are always popular with children and especially now with the new movie they have become a big hit once more. The Bumblebee helmet is perfect for any boy. They will look like Bumblebee and look like him too. There are also some pre-installed phrases that are heard from the movie that will make you sound like Bumblebee. Now you can be a mighty Transformer and fight the Decepticons.

9. Picooz Radio Controlled Helicopter. We all like flying but unfortunately very few are real pilots. Well, now you can become a pilot with the new Piccoz helicopter. This is a great mini helicopter that can fly indoors or if the weather is calm you can also take it out. The helicopter is very light so even if it falls on any furniture you shouldn't have any problems. You will have a great fun at a very reasonable price.

10. Transformers Devastator. This toy is better than anything else from Transformers because it actually is 5 in one. It becomes from a robot into 5 different vehicles. But if you want you can actually make just one huge robot out of this. All boys like the possibilities that the Transformers Devastator gives them so this is a perfect toy for any boy this Christmas.

Getting the Right Measurement of Your Stair Railings - Learn To Do It Effectively

A stairway is a vital element of a house whether inside or outside. It unites the ground area with the upper area and provides an extra height to the house. It is an important component that brings people up and down the house with ease.

Toddler Guard Rail

Through the years, styles of stairs have developed and they may come in all forms and shapes. They may be in the form of traditional straight structures, spiral and sphere-shaped stairways. Whatever they are made of, they need to be comfortable and safe structures for users.

Toddler Guard Rail

Whether it is with a few baby steps or several flights of treads, it should always be constructed with the right specifications and materials. The appropriate measurements should be taken into consideration prior to assembly and installation of parts. If you don't have the skills, get the services of a skilled worker.

Stairs are composed of different parts. The tread is the step your feet land on when ascending or descending the stairs and they require certain strength to stand varying weights. The riser is the vertical part linking each tread while the nosing is the protruding edge of the step.

An important part is the balustrade system which includes railings, balusters and handrail. The hand railing is a horizontal bar that holds the balusters and serves as a safety barrier. Balusters on the other hand are vertical supports to the rail and guard the side of the stairs.

The choice of materials is an important consideration to enable ease of use for young and old alike. Railings of the staircase should be firmly built and strong for the security of the users. Varied styles can be utilized; you may choose the open type or close to each other type if small children are present in the household.

To get the correct measurements, you need to get the average rise and actual depth of the steps. You also need the number of treads to be used, angle of the staircase and the length of the rail. You must also get the measurement from tip to tip or measurement from house to tip of front step (applicable to railings installed at the entrance stairs).

It is always safe to check if you're stair railing is securely fixed and in good condition. If it shows to be unsafe for stair users, have it changed. There are firms that make and assemble pre-cut railings and you can just provide your own measurement or have them do the job if you are unsure.
