Ever since the screening of the Disney Pixar animation, Cars, race car beds have been rising in popularity. Children love them because they want to be driving their own sport cars. They are the perfect playground for imagination kids. Parents love these beds too; children no longer need heavy coaxing to go to sleep, the kids sleep better, have less nightmares and all these means better quality sleep for parents as well.
Most race car beds boast of a sporty shaped body, but on the inside it is, after all, still a bed. Car beds body frames, like the real McCoys, are fairly low in height. Usually, the mattress is almost levelled with the sides of the frame, leaving little or no bed sides to keep children from falling over. Some parents suggests removing the box spring to lower the sleeping area such that the sides become raised instead.
Kids Bed Side Rails
Other concerned parents have turned to installing bed rails on these beds to prevent their children from injuring themselves. However, this is often met with resistance from their children because rails break the overall design of the bed. Luckily, not all rails are incompatible with these sporty beds. In fact, most rails can be made to become race car bed friendly with some modifications.
The easiest way to fit bed rails with the car beds is to paint it the same color scheme. It can be as simple as a monochrome or if you're comfortable with colors, you can mix and match shades of colors to enhance the sporty effect.
Bed rails also needn't be rectangular and straight. While most bed rails are of standard sizes, bed rails, especially those from your race car bed manufacturer are usually already customized with smooth curves to blend into the race car frame.
Some of these bed rails are designed like wings of a sports car so they make the bed look even more stylish and at the same time, they are firm and sturdy enough to provide support to your child in his sleep.
Now you can have a race car bed for your child and you don't have to worry about your kids falling off the bed side with bed rails for your childrens beds.
