We still have his rail up because he is an active sleeper and I often find him sleeping right up against the rail. He has slept in beds without the rail and usually falls out at night. I guess we will keep it a little while longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-remove-bed-rails#post-2311863 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 14:01:32 +0000 rattles 2311863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never had rails.

Then at 2.5 we moved her to a queen bed. It isn't against a wall and we don't have any rails up for her. So far good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-remove-bed-rails#post-2311813 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 13:18:48 +0000 lamariniere 2311813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never had rails. DS's twin bed is very low to the ground though. He fell out the first two nights (onto his old crib mattress that I put next to the bed to catch him) and one random night and that's it. He's been sleeping in it for 2 years now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-remove-bed-rails#post-2311805 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 13:08:03 +0000 ksnow 2311805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you remove bed rails from your kiddos bed? My DD is almost 3, and has been in a bed for 1 year now. Right now it's pushed against a wall, and has a 'rail' on the other side (Amazon added). Obviously, I'll leave it up as long as necessary since I would never want her to get hurt rolling out - but i'm not sure how to tell when it's time to remove, with the exception of taking it off and seeing if she falls out. She can get in/out of bed herself. I'm thinking of removing it because 1) looks better without 2) harder to make bed up 3) as my stomach gets larger it's harder for me to maneuver out of her bed after she falls asleep (I lay with her until she falls asleep...)</p> <p>If I did take them out I could do some transition helpers like pool noodles under sheets or lining floor with pillows? </p>
