Portable bed rails

If you list products on our store, you must comply with all federal, state, and local laws and our policies applicable to those products and product listings, including this policy.

Portable bed rails covered by this policy

A portable bed rail is intended to keep a child from falling out of a bed. A portable bed rail may be installed on the side of a bed or on the mattress surface. Portable bed rails are intended for children who can get in and out of bed unassisted, typically between two and five years old. Foam, inflatable, and rigid portable bed rails are all covered by this policy.
