Preventing night-time falls - with metal frame and automatic lock
Metal frame provides structural support while an automatic locking mechanism holds the guard firmly against the mattress. Breathable mesh panels form a soft, visible barrier rather than a solid wall.
A stable barrier reduces the chance of rolling out of bed, giving caregivers confidence during overnight sleep and naps.
Travel-friendly compactness - with foldable adjustable length
Length adjusts from 106 cm when open to 71 cm when folded, allowing compact storage. Lightweight construction keeps bulk low for packing into cars or suitcases.
Easy packing and simple adjustment make temporary sleeping arrangements straightforward when visiting family or on holiday.
Clear visibility and airflow - with mesh fabric panels
Mesh fabric allows air circulation and maintains sightlines so caregivers can check a toddler without removing the guard. The fabric wipes clean for basic hygiene between washes.
Quick visual checks and reduced overheating risk make monitoring calmer, while low-maintenance cleaning keeps the sleeping area hygienic.
