Bed Rail recommendations?

[marinak1977]

Hi Everyone,
We've been sharing a queen bed with our DS who is our first, and since I do not see that ending (I love it!) I need to get some bed rails for when he starts being more mobile. I'm confused by all the available rail types, so I'd love to hear what works and what to avoid. I'm guessing we'll co-sleep for a while, so I need something durable and safe for when he gets bigger and heavier. Any advice is appreciated!!
Thank you!

We use this one on one side of our queen -- if I'm not IN the bed with her, I normally put a few pillows on "my side" and she's fine, since we are pretty much in the flow of staying on our "sides.."

I'm pooped I hope that makes sense

I like the little pockets on this one for "stuff" like wipes or whatever else she may need.http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Delux...113006&sr=8-14

mommarific - thank you for the recommend! Is this rail sturdy enough to prevent a toddler from falling through? I'm curious as I'm hoping to have it for a while.
Thank you!

We have used a long, triangular shaped piece of foam that goes under the sheet at the edge of the bed. I'm not sure what they're called - maybe a bed bumper? Anyway, it works well, it doesn't hurt if DD bumps into it and it fits any kind of bed.
