I have never used something like this before but was in need since my child moves around a lot while sleeping. I always fear him falling off his bed. After putting this together with the help of the instructions, it was very easy to set up and secure it into place. I like that the straps are adjustable so it can fit to almost any bed size. The rail is very sturdy and does not make any noise as my son moves and kicks. The material is soft and removable so it can be washed. My favorite part is that the rail folds down so it is not in the way of my child getting out of bed. It also comes with a carrying case as you can take it with you when vacationing or visiting relatives where we have to spend the night. Overall, I am very satisfied with this rail.
