Crawl to walk was a scary stage. But the cot to bed manoeuvre? A total nightmare.
Keep your little snoozer safe with Dream Tubes, a soft, nontoxic bed guard that prevents wee wrigglers (ages 18 months to 5 years) from falling once they’re sleeping in a grown-up bed.
To assemble, place the fitted sheet on any standard single mattress, inflate the tubes, and zip them into their channels. Light and easy to transport, the guards are ideal for sleepovers, holidays and weekends with the grandparents.
Sweet dreams? They’re made of these.
