My 3 yr old grandson has a bed rail on his regular bed - does this raised area around the head/shoulders keep child from rolling out?

Not really. It kept my son's upper body from rolling out but not his legs and hips. Definitely should only be used on a floor, not raised.

This is a sleeping bag type of bed with the air mattress so they are lying close to the floor however the rail siding does keep them in the bed.

Not if they actively sleep. My 2 3yr ok grandsons use them at my house. I have found them out of the bed on the floor occasionally. Most of the time-if they aren't restless, they stay in bed. I would never put them any where except on the floor in Tod. They love sleeping in Thomas

Yes, it does help keep them from rolling out. My 3 year old toddler has been using it sporadically since she was two and has never rolled out of it. It should be noted, the bed is not really high up horizontally anyway, so even if your grandson does roll out of the bed, he wouldn't be hurt in any serious way, just woken up (assuming you have the bed on the floor, of course).

My husband says that it alerts him that he is close to the edge of the bed and he moves over so he would say, "Yes, it does help keep him from rolling off." This is from a man who has a history of falling out of the bed. Fingers crossed but no falls since we installed the rail. Hope this helps. :)

No, it does not. That is why we bought a foam mattress for it, they are dense and don't shift. My husband bought foam pipe covering that he put around edges and strapped down with tie straps so the frame would not damage the walls. We also bought round 2" furniture movers to set all the legs in (we have tile floors) so easy to move for cleaning. The bed does not slide around due to the dense foam mattress. Love this bed frame! Works great!

No. This was one of my few complaints. The bed needs the heavy metal slide attached for support.

I am using it as a replacement for a bed rail on their toddler beds, and it works great. As long as you place it under the fitted sheet, you can't get under it, it stays in place, and truly does keep my girls (twins) from falling out of their bed.

No, did not cause a flat head on my grandson. He wasn't in it 24/7 though. Maybe a half hour at a time.

You can covert without rail but the child will roll off bed unless some sort of restraint is there

No. A toddler bed is too small and there are wooden slats with spaces between each slat that hold the mattress. I put particle board on the slats for extra support for the twin mattress so that would be an option. Although getting tripped up in space between a toddler mattress and the bed frame is a danger for an elevated bed.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

If you mean rails that go across underneath the mattress, then yes. If you mean a guard rail that keeps kids from falling out of bed, then no.

It stays put really well. I use it because she moves a lot in her sleep and this prevents her from rolling too far.

It comes as pictured. The board support for this handle slips between the mattress and box spring. No other bed rail is included. Separately installed third party bed rails are usually not allowed in many nursing homes and/or retirement homes unless they can be totally retracted in a single motion for quick medical access (e.g hospital bed). This handle device simply allows the occupant to pull themselves up and/or balance themselves as they independently egress the bed.

This might sound obvious, but have you tried reclining it a bit more? Also you may have the shoulder traps slightly too high, they should be at or slightly below his shoulders. This has never been a problem for either of my sons, I hope you get it figured out and end up loving your Pavilion as much as we do! Good luck!

We did both for my daughter. I like it better mounted over the middle because it wraps her whole bed. It's easier to maneuver when it's at the head though. Both work.

Yea it'll hold it but the safety rail will be petty non-existent then. I'd your kid is a roller, then it may be an issue.

It's really a 3-in-1 product now...no rocking, no upright playard. I just called Tomy (the parent company of The First Years) and clarified two things. First, ours (manufactured 2/2014) does not rock. The government decided that it might tip over if someone pulled on it too hard. (It's called gravity...) Second, it no longer has the seated-upright playard option, which is what I believe the restraints were for. Ours has bows on the basket but not on the changing table - I'm willing to bet the govt told them to take those off, too. The rep was helpful and apologetic and - since preventing the bassinet from rocking is not yet mandated, and our box explicitly said the bassinet rocked - was able to send out an "old" pair of legs for us so that it will rock. She was not able to offer any suggestions for the playard since it sounds like that's a change to the entire carrier piece. Hope this helps someone else. We thought we were going crazy at first until we realized that the plastic legs look different than what's in the manufacturer's photos.

Less that 1 foot. Also, the sides of the "ship" create about a 7 inch lip around the entire mattress, so there is no chance of a kiddo rolling out of the bed. It is very safe!
