I had a Safety First one that I used for my daughter a few years back and I have to say with comparing it to this one and using it for my son now I wish I knew about this one back then! The previous one was made of plastic and could easily bend. I like how durable this one is and it's so easy to set up and move for travel. It goes everywhere with us and I love that it comes with a travel bag too. I also like the color of it as the previous one we had was blue. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a safe and durable bed rail.
