hiccapop Convertible Crib Bed Rail for Toddlers | Crib Rail Guard, Toddler Bed Rail for Crib | Baby Bed Rail Guard with Reinforced Anchor Safety

We had a couple of surprises installing the safety rail. First, one of the rods was affixed to the hinge backwards, so that the hole in the rod would not match up with the coupling on the other rod. My husband had to drill a hole in the metal rod to make it work (and it took three tries to get it large enough). Im sure it was just a mistake in the manufacturing that doesnt apply to all of the products, but it was pretty annoying to have to drill a hole. If you run into that problem, dont spend a long time trying to reposition the rods like we did - its not you! - just drill the hole and it will work fine. Second, our crib has three mattress levels. We were using the lowest setting, but we could not secure the anchors while the crib was on the lowest setting. There simply wasnt enough room between spring on the mattress and the crib frame for the anchor to fit. We could have installed a board and drilled holes in the board, but (because of the first problem), my husband was tired of drilling when no tools were supposed to be required, so we just raised the mattress to the middle level. I will say that having the mattress on the middle level allows for the guard rail to fold down nicely along the bed. If the mattress were on the lowest level, it wouldnt go flat along the bed because the floor would get in the way. Since we had to use the middle mattress setting, were also having to use a stool for my child to crawl into the bed. Given that, I seriously considered just putting the mattress on the lowest setting and doing away the guard rail altogether. But, after the time we invested just getting it set up, we decided to give it a try. Despite the surprises, the product has worked well. I have not experienced any of the issues the other reviewers mention about the lowering the rail. It takes two hands to do it, but otherwise, its pretty simple. Also, it is very sturdy, so I dont have to worry about it giving way and my child falling out. Also, we had a crib-sized piece of plywood that we used with our AngelCare monitor. We placed this over the support bars for the guard rail and that has kept the support bars from digging into the mattress without compromising stability. All in all, I think its going to be a good transition piece for us, but if I had to do it over again, I may have considered additional options that could be installed with the mattress on the lowest setting and that would not require tools.

I opted to purchase this Guard rail for my daughters converted crib rather than the one that was made for the bed. I liked that this one seemed to cover more of the side and had the option to fold down. The one that was made for the bed was much more expensive and was only on one side. Shes a pretty active sleeper and I was afraid shed turn herself around or scoot down and roll out. I was able to put this together on my own, but I did have to use a screw driver to help get it attached to the bed, it was a little awkward to do - My arms were not long enough to do it from the front of the bed, so I had to do it from behind through the crib rails. I did also notice that the mattress seemed to have a slight tilt towards the railing after installed. I didnt think too much of it, but then realized every night my daughter would start in the middle of the mattress and eventually roll towards the guard rail. I put small long box under the bed on that side which seemed to even it back out and she stopped rolling to wards the railing. Other feedback is that the option to lower the rail is great, but its a little difficult to do. I have to get down so I can use both my hands and my chin to get it lowered. Otherwise I cant pull the locks up and get it lowered all at the same time. Maybe just user error? Overall it is doing exactly what we need it to do!

Product was pretty straightforward to install and works very well. We have had it in my daughters room since February 2022, it is currently December and the cover on the guard ripped and is no longer working. I contacted the company via their information on the cover and received a very quick response where they verified some info and said they would be shipping a replacement ASAP. I am very impressed with how quick the service was and how friendly they were.

actually bought this to keep my pillows from falling through the crack at the head of my bed when I adjusted my bed into a sitting position. Works great.. Caution. where the hinges are , they are a bit bulky and did hit my headboard, I just had to pull my bed out and away from it about 1/2. Now my adjustable bed can go to a sitting position without all my pillows falling down between the headboard . If you have an extreme thick mattress.. Id look for a bedrail that can be adjusted to be taller or shorter.
