BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the field of toddler bed rail covers. The present invention more particularly relates to the safety of baby's head from the toddler bed rail. The present invention will provide more safety to baby's head when they tumble in their bed.

(2) Background of Invention

Permanently mounted or removable rail or bar restraints are widely used to prevent children or the incapacitated from falling out of bed. Unfortunately, these restraints typically allow the head, arms and/or legs to be inserted through the rails or bars of the bed or crib. These limbs may then become lodged between the rails or accidently struck by moving people or objects outside the crib. Kid's bed rail are metal and when kids tumble and turn while sleep often they hit their head on metal reed rail, so the purpose of the bumper rail cover is provide a cushion and protect little heads while the kid is sleep or play in bed.

To reduce these dangers, bed bumper pads have been developed. Typically, these bed bumper pads are thin, padded strips covered with fabric or plastic and positioned on top of the mattress around the interior boundary of the bed. Other bumper pads have inflatable padded strips that are connected together and inflated to form a cushioned bumper around the bed. Although the padded strips are usually fastened to the crib, they still may permit the insertion of the child's head, arms or legs between the mattress and the bumper strip itself. Thus, they do not completely eliminate the danger of limbs being caught between the bars of the bed or they hit their head on the bed rail.

Another problem with existing bumper pads is that they tend to be loosely stuffed with filler material. This results in the filler material being redistributed as the crib bumper is handled, particularly when it is washed, such that the crib bumper starts to lose its shape. This loss of shape may cause some portions of the bumper to become thinner and, therefore, provide less protection to the child.

To overcome the defects in the prior art, the present invention is proposed with an improved toddler bed rail bumper cover which protects the children heads from injuries when they tumble in the bed.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Primarily the invention is a detachable side cover for a bed for infant protection and comfort. According to the invention the side cover comprises of a body having a pair of substantial guides forming a bed rail and a protective pad covering over said body.

Moreover, the protective pad for covering the bed rail is positioned in a manner so that that it can house the body of the detachable side cover. Therefore when the flexible member of the protective pad covering are releasably connected together, each said tie being then securable to a corresponding slat of said bed rail and the unpadded section thereby prevents any substantially movement of said protective pad covering.
