I have a 2 year old son and am collecting a new caravan next week (exciting!)  In our current van, which is very old, my husband rigged up a cot with a piece of plywood to keep the little one safely in bed.  We don't fancy messing around with the new caravan and wonder if anyone has any words of wisdom based on thier own experience.  Do those Tomy bed guards fit in a caravan or is there anything else I could do to stop him rolling out?

Many thanks

Do you have bunks at the rear.  If so we got a clamp on wooden bedguard from Ikea which fits on to our middle bunk which doesn't have a guard at all, but Im sure it would also fit on to an existing bedguard to make it taller.  My son was just 3 when we put it in and he's never fallen out.

Like this but a wood colour

that sounds like a great idea.  Will check it out.  Incidentally our new van has fixed bunk beds, but his bed has no guard, so something will be needed.

Our middle fixed bunk also did not have a guard so we used a BabyDan bed guard we bought in John Lewis. It is quite strong, easy to fix and has a large mesh panel. As our son was under 2, and the bunk was so high, we wanted something that would also keep him from trying to climb out himself. This has worked really well for us.
