Bed tents are safe for your children, provided that you have set them up properly, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Furthermore, it is also necessary to ensure that your child does not take any dangerous objects like sharp pencils inside the tent where you cannot see what they are doing with them. Also, make sure there are no small toys inside the tent that the child may swallow (especially with toddlers.) Make sure to keep an eye on your children at all times when they are in the bed tent. It is not recommended to put infants in a bed tent.
