I was fairly happy with this bedrail until I discovered how unsafe it can be in the down position. My toddler quickly figured out that he can use the bedrail as a makeshift ladder. As I was making the bed, he climbed onto the bedrail and fell off before I could reach him. He hit his face and jaw on the rail, which caused a nasty bruise. DO NOT leave this bedrail in the down position--very dangerous!
