We have this bedrail for our daughter. I liked the idea of having a 3-sided bedrail, as she often crams her head to the top of her bed. However, the metal part on the side of our bedrail also snapped and she fell out of bed. I saw another review in which this also happened. Perhaps there is a design flaw or this product is of poor quality. She's not a big girl, only 34 pounds (about average for a 3 year-old).
