Bed restraints

According to statistics, a large number of injuries in children of the first year of life is associated with falling from bed. Basically, these are traumatic brain injuries. Needless to say about the importance of preventing such injuries. To limit the likelihood of such a situation will help limiters for the bed.

The bed restraint is a protective barrier that prevents a person from falling on the bed. Such devices are built-in, that is, the design of the bed in advance provides for the presence of such a barrier. Also, the limiter can be bought separately if you have such a need. It is clear that their color variations are also diverse. The material from which the product is made, you can also choose based on your tastes and preferences.

Choosing a stopper for the bed, you should start off primarily from the age of the child. If this is a child of the first year of life, the barrier must necessarily be high so that he can stand up on his feet and cannot fall over him.

As a rule, children's beds intended for very young children are always equipped with an already built-in barrier. There are cribs, equipped with a universal limiter, which can be adjusted in height. The minimum height can be chosen if the child is constantly in a prone position, that is, for infants. The average position is suitable for a child who has learned to sit. And if there is a possibility that the child can stand up, it is necessary to choose the maximum height.
