There comes a point when every toddler transitions from a cot to a big bed and most parents biggest concern is that their child will fall out. Well that and will they actually stay in bed. Poppet has made this transition and thankfully she loves her new ‘big girl’ bed. We did however need to get a safety rail as the bed isn’t exactly low and should she have fallen out, it would have hurt. Dreambaby heard that Poppet was going from the cot to a bed and kindly offered me one of theirs. Below you can read the Dreambaby Bed Rail review and of course because Dreambaby are so generous they have offered another one for a giveaway!
DreamBaby Bed Rail Review
As I would expect from Dreambaby, the quality is second to none. This particular bed rail is an impressive 109 cm wide and 45.5 cm high. The odds of your little one falling out with this rail are pretty slim. As you can see in the picture of Poppets’ bed, there isn’t much of the bed left to fall from.
This is extremely easy to install and as it is already assembled in the box all you have to do is put it in the required spot and the safety anchors hold it in place. Requiring no tools to fit it means it is easily portable. One of my favourite features is the breathable mesh. My daughter moves around a lot when she sleeps and her face often pushes against the rail but thanks to the breathable mesh she can still breathe and I don’t fear her suffocating.
The Dreambaby bed rail actually folds down as well which makes for easy bed making however this doesn’t suit all beds. The bed Poppet has isn’t quite high enough that it can be left down when she is not sleeping but it isn’t far off. Again, makes for easy bed making though.

At the moment my biggest night time struggle is getting her to stay in her cot all night and not end up in our bed. A few weeks ago she was sick + teething and spent a lot of nights in our bed because she just wanted to sleep with mummy. Now its taking us a while to get her to spend the whole night in her cot again because she wants to be with me. Most nights she ends up in our bed between 3-5am because she won’t settle back in her cot, but I know we’ll get back to her staying in her cot all night because we’ve done it before.
This is a great prize Kell and one we’ll need pretty soon as I don’t think the cot is going to cut it for much longer. She definitely wants to be in a big bed.
Just thinking about this makes me laugh. I know this is not about a toddler but…. there is nothing like hearing a baby stir for what you think will be a feed but they do a MASSIVE sleep poo. The sound is ammusing but the clean up at 3am and the mess and re settling basically the whole family can be a nightmare, I find it takes me a good 30-40 minutes to get back to sleep. It’s a jump andcrun to save the sleeping bag and sheets situation.
Calming down a very wound up little boy so he actually sleeps. It’s like he’s on speed 24/7, even when tired.
Going to bed at a normal human hour. I sleep way too late!
Napping and then find it hard to go to sleep
Getting them to STAY in bed. They are always all of a sudden hungry, thirsty, not tired, need to do a poo (whoops sorry mum I just did a wee instead), scared of the dark, scared of monsters. Oh 4 year olds 😉
Congrats! You have won.
I would love to win this for my daughter who will be soon going into a big girl bed. She is restless at night and I fear she will fall out of bed. This rail would be wonderful peace of mind for me, I’ve heard great reviews about this product and would love to win!
Restricting reading to just one book!
Waking up to my little man is hard enough but not being able to find his dummy is my biggest struggle.
Getting my toddler to bed at a descent hour and getting her to stay in her big bed during the night. Having a bed rail may make her feel more secure and she may sleep better
Actually getting the kids to go to bed and stay in bed – the constant getting up for a drink, food, toilet, anything just to prolong bed time
My battle is getting my darling to go to sleep and when she does to stay there. At the moment her try is to put her arm though the rails of her cot, so I have to get her out.
Getting L to sleep through. I think she did it once at just under 4mths! I still wake up a few times a night to comfort her. She’s also been co-sleeping with us as I have found it easier with the constant waking this way. However, now that we are thinking about having bub #2, we have tried to move her to her room at night. It’s actually been successful the past 2wks, but I just still need to do the long, tiring walk to her room those few times a night. The hardest thing has been the bed though! I’ve put all blankets and pillows on the floor in case she falls out as I haven’t bought one of these handy looking rails yet. I also put a pillow at the edge of the bed as a type of barrier for when she rolls about lol. She hasn’t fallen yet! But gosh it’s annoying cleaning up all the pillows and blankets off the floor in the mornings haha!
My biggest night time struggle is getting tangled in my top sheet – it may be an inanimate object, but it sure knows how to wrestle!
me- fighting hubby for blanket
kids- sleeping in my bed or floor
Juggling a seven moth old breast feeding teething baby with a three and a half year old with night terrors and a snoring husband …..that’s my biggest nighttime struggle.
There is nothing worst then bed falls,especially when you are weening your little one into there own bed,in hope of a good night sleep.
Although being sleeping, my girl like crawling here and there. I have to keep awake a bit, since I need to check she is where. I have to move her If I find that she is close to the edge of the bed. One night is fine, but many nights make me so tired.
The reappearances after put to bed – “I’m thirsty”, “I’m hungry”, “I have to go to the toilet”…the list is endless.
At the moment we struggle to get her to sleep we have to massage her back on our bed then transfer her to her own. Trying not to wake her
When he awakes at 2 am and wants to be up and wakes us up and takes hours to put back to bed.
Ensuring enough sleep is fit in before school, making sure everyone goes to bed on time! Also, making sure everything is packed and organised for the next day. So much to do, so little time!
Getting my son to sleep is a nightmare! He simply refuses to sleep! Then he doesnt wanna get up in the morning lol little hugger!
Now I lay him down to sleep,
I hope asleep that he will keep.
Another night of him awake,
Does for a crazy mummy make.
A restless sleeper’s what he is,
Who won’t stay in that bed of his.
It makes him angry so it seems,
He can’t visit the land of dreams.
Legs are kicking, arms do flail,
Dreambaby give him your Bed Rail
To keep him sleeping in his bed,
So I can relax, clear my head.
Getting both the kids in to bed by 7pm so I have some time for myself, aaahhh silence.
Getting them to bed! They wriggle off, or won’t stay put, or won’t get into bed. SLEEP, it’s an order!
I often hear a “thump” throughout the night,
From bed to floor there’s 1.3 metres in height,
My tyke often awakes with a bump or a bruise,
It’s overdue for him to have an uninterrupted snooze!
He wakes each and every school morning depleted!
With a “DreamBaby Harrogate Bed Rail” I’m sure this concern can be defeated!
Monsters come out at dark. Now, I do have monster spray for Master 5 (handy-dandy lavender water) but it’s only effective against *closet* monsters and not window monsters. So when the window monsters bite on toes (their favourite snack), Master 5 must get up and tell everyone about it. Midnight, 2am, no problems. Getting him back into bed when the monsters are nibbling is a struggle.
They want to stay up,
So the getting and staying in bed is tough.
Plus getting dinner and everything done,
It’s not that fun!
Diverting all the distractions and keeping her in bed long enough to fall asleep
My struggle is getting to sleep after the kids are asleep to take advantage of their silence. I seem to stay awake and ponder all the problems of the world. Dear oh dear!
My struggle is with myself – after losing our daughter at eight months of age, our son slept in our room until three. Moving him to his own bed makes me nervous – a dream baby bed rail would placate one of my fears.
We have been looking for just such a product for miss two. She will need to sleep in the top of our triple decker bunks in the caravan.
I would LOVE this. I need it now.
i am really sick of the consistent getting up. I’m hungry. I need to go toilet. I need a cuddle. I need a kiss. I’m thirsty. They are literally standing there falling asleep. They just refuse to do it in their bed
On a few occasions I’ve heard a THUMP to find Miss 3 having rolled out of bed and onto the floor, luckily we have carpet, no bunk beds and no injuries from the incidences! This experience has certainly made me check on her at every opportunity, even during the wee hours to make sure she is well positioned not to roll. It also was the basis of entry into this fab comp. A Dreambaby Bed Rail may just be our solutions to avoid another roll out of bed.
My biggest struggle is getting my 3 yr old not to sleep with his doona in the middle of summer! He insists on pyjamas and a quilt every night.
