Wish I'd bought something else
After much research I bought this bedrail for our 2 1/2-year-old. I was very disappointed. I purchased this model because it seemed to be the only one that didn't have bulky rails under the mattress that would ruin the mattress and box springs. The product is very misleading in that respect. It has even bulkier rails than other models that fit 4-5 inches under the mattress (and they have sharp points that will tear holes in the box springs in no time), then the strap, then these worthless L-shaped bars on the other side that always turn sideways. Forget about trying to make the bed. An everyday chore has become an everyday nightmare. The rail is much harder to fold down than other models and those dang L-shaped things always come off every time you tuck the sheet. I haven't tried the foldaway thing, but it's not really a feature I need. I just want to make the bed. I purchased mine for $30 from Target, but still didn't get a good buy for my money.
