everything these days are choking hazards and suffocation hazards, if they were too bad, they would recall them... they should be fine... good luck!

I use a bed rail on a regular bed for a 14 month old. Mine has a mesh front to prevent suffocation/choking. If he can get in and out of the bed on his own easily, it will be fine. I got an extra long rail....but there is still room for him to get out if he was more observant. I dunno if I would use one that has a pure plastic front, but one with little holes in it should be fine.

oh, girl- get him in his OWN bed! now! not picking on you, i went through it too with my first one. and it was hell trying to get her to sleep in her own room. we waited way too long. but to answer your question, you can use bed rails on a twin size bed- they are fine. toddler beds are unnecessary.

I have to agree with answerer # 3 -- toddler beds are unnecessary. The Baby Stuff Industry would like you to think they are necessary... And you can't use bed rails with them, anyway -- it's not safe. My son was a co-sleeper, also. When my son was two, and eager to move to his own room and "big boy bed", we got him a twin mattress, box spring and frame, BUT started him out only using the mattress alone on the floor, so if he rolled off, he would not be hurt. When he was 3-1/2 he graduated to the full set w/ box spring and frame with a bed rail. The safest bed rail is the kind that has a belt/strap that runs across the bed the short way, threaded between the box spring and mattress, with a metal plate that you slip out the other side, so that the bed rail stays tight against the bed.

we used this one at grandma's house with no problem on a queen and if you tuck it in tightly enough, there's virtually no space between for him to fall through. I bought our daughter a toddler bed at home because we didn't feel comfortable with her climbing up and sliding down over hardwood floors. For us, the decision was safety.
