Well, our DS is really becoming mobile (7mths) and I think we're going to need guardrails on our bed soon. He's fine at night (a boobie-magnet - but you never know!), however during the day, if I didn't hear him when he wakes, there is the possibility that he could crawl off the bed and fall on the floor.

Here's the dilemma, our bed is not an ensemble. The mattress is recessed about 5cm into a base frame. We liked the idea of the mesh guardrails that fold over, however that may not work with our bed.

Has anyone got any suggestions re brands/guardrail creations etc? We can't put our mattress on the floor, and fortunately our bed is quite low to the ground, but I still think we need something to keep him safe.

In the meantime, we're teaching him when he gets to the side to "Stop. Turn Around and Slide Down" (sounds like a fire drill! )
