Baby Products Reviews of Dex Products Safe Sleeper Bed Rail Ultra
Customer Review: We like it so far!
Summary: 4 Stars
We've had this rail for just over a week now. My son just moved into a "big boy bed" and I did a ton of research into which rail would be best for us. This one seemed to fit the bill. We have a mattress/boxspring combo so happily didn't have the issues that the people with platforms etc have in picking a rail.
It's certainly sturdy and with that middle stabilizer bar in place, doesn't move ANYwhere near enough to let him fall through. I cannot imagine how kids are going through to the floor if this is installed correctly and using that middle bar.
Some pros and cons below. Don't be fooled by that it seems like there's more cons than pros. Not true. I'm just wordier with my complaints. <lol>
Pros:
--It's sturdy and nice-looking. We DID install that middle bar as other reviewers recommended. I definitely think it's a good idea. I can't see how it's as stable without it.
--You can lower it down to make changing sheets etc super easy. I love this. I also lower it when sitting in the rocker next to the bed telling a story or singing to him - otherwise I can't see him, nor he me! It's also mercifully quiet when you raise it back up and snap it into place. I have a SUPER light sleeper and he doesn't stir when I do that.
--The mechanism to lower it works smoothly and well, and I can't find a way that a child, alone, could do it him/herself.
--It seems quite safe and serves its purpose well. This is my favorite part really - that it is SAFE and stable and keeps him from falling out.
Cons:
--You need a decent amount of room from floor to top of boxspring (I think another reviewer said 18 inches?) in order to be able to have this flush against the side when lowered. We don't. So it doesn't go flat to the floor, but stays on an angle. As another reviewer note, when like that it makes a "ladder" for the child to get to the bed. I don't like that - I don't want him climbing on the thing at all, so I mostly leave it up now. I lower it mostly when tucking sheets. Disappointing - I loved that it could be left down, but that's a fault of my bed, NOT of the rail.
--We found it a tad bit confusing as to how to properly tighten the anchor thing. In fairness, it had been a long day and maybe if we were "fresh" it would've been like "ohhhhh duhh!" or something. Putting it together was a snap, but we hassled with the anchor thing a bit. Got it, though (it's really NOT hard) and now it's nice and sturdy. I also agree with the other reviewers in that you really SHOULD use that middle bar. We have a rather low mattress and that bar falls JUST below it. So we lucked out in that the bar isn't against him in any way.
--One nit-picky thing, but one that I think the company really needs to look at, is that after just a week, the mesh in the top corner is sort of slightly bubbled out from my 3 year old putting his foot there. Seems like it should be stronger or better held inside or something. Now don't misunderstand, it's not ripped, it's not way out, it's just not totally smooth in that area anymore. Again, seems like mine can't be the only kid who puts their foot on it, or elbow, or whatever. (That, primarily, is the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, by the way.)
That's kind of it I think. Works as it should - goes on relatively easily - looks nice - most of all seems super safe. That last bit is all that really matters.
