Regalo Sleep Tite Double Drop Down Bed Rail - White

For the price of what most stores are charging for one rail, this has two. The assembally is fairly easy and the construction strong. No complaints.

We installed the Smart Guard Ultra II with extra side rail made for One Step Ahead by Regalo. We also ordered, but did not try to install the Sleeptite 2-sided Portable Bed Rail - Double 43" by Regalo and determined that the products are very similar so my review of one is probably very applicable to both products.

Our biggest frustration with these bedrails is that only one side is made to fold down, the other side does not fold down and if installed correctly is pressing into the mattress. This makes mattress pad and sheet changes almost impossible without having to take off the side that won't fold down. We were very displeased about this because you can see by adding a hinge, it could have been designed where both sides fold down, making sheet changes much easier.

Set-up time was about 45 minutes and the directions were okay. But we were disappointed in the quality of the product. In the case of the Smart Guard Ultra II, the adjustments for bed width are made by sliding a female tube into a male tube and then a spring loaded locking pin comes through to snap the two into place. However, these locking pins aren't very tall and on one of the bars it came loose two times under tension. Since One Step Ahead is a great company, I have no doubt that I could have easily gotten a replacement, but because of disappointment with the product, we did not pursue getting a replacement.

The Regalo Sleeptite 2-sided Portable Bed Rail - Double 43" attaches underneath the mattress with a strap, so this issue with the spring loaded pins would probably not be an issue.

Another quality issue was that several of the plastic pieces that came in our box were scraped/scratched. Nothing that would have prevented the rail from working, just disappointing.

I have attached two customer's photos to this product description. These photos are sketches and photos from the side of the box that better describe the bed rail. Why amazon/Target can't get a least as much information on their website than is on the side of the box is frustrating to me. But that seems to happen many times.

I am writing this review and putting photos on description to help others who also are seeking more information about these rails. This would probably be a good choice if you only need protection on one side.

For a double bedrail, we ended up choosing the Safe and Secure Double Bedrail by the First Years. For more information read my review about that product.

This bed rail system was a disappointment. The bed rail is engineered with a snap in place bar system that is meant to lock the bed rail into a straight position; however, the side rail would not snap in place despite repeated attempts. Also, the system isn't really portable--it weighs a ton.

These bed rails are nice because they dismantle easy and assemble fairly easily, but they are not quite as sturdy as bed rails "should" be.
