How to Install a HideAway Bed Rail: Step-by-Step Guide

Quick Answer

To install a HideAway Bed Rail, place the rail under the mattress with the Glide Trac System, align it with the bed frame, and secure it tightly. The process takes about 10 minutes and requires no tools.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Bed: Remove all bedding from the mattress and make sure the bed frame is stable. If the bed is against a wall, pull it out slightly to give yourself room to work. A clear work area prevents the rail from being misaligned.
2. Position the Rail: Place the HideAway Bed Rail under the mattress, with the rail portion facing up. Ensure the rail is centered along the side of the bed where your child sleeps. Check that the rail is not too close to the headboard or footboard, which could cause gaps.
3. Engage the Glide Trac System: Slide the rail into the Glide Trac System until it clicks into place. You should feel a secure fit. The rail should be able to glide smoothly when you push it under the mattress. If the glide feels sticky, adjust the rail's position and try again.
4. Secure the Rail: Tighten any locking mechanisms or straps to secure the rail in place. For the Double Sided model, repeat this step on the other side of the bed. Make sure the rail doesn't move when you push on it firmly.
5. Test the Rail: Gently push and pull the rail to ensure it's firmly attached. Then, replace the bedding and make sure the rail sits flush against the mattress. A rail that moves easily needs to be re-secured before use.
6. Final Safety Check: Check for any gaps between the rail and the mattress. The rail should be snug against the mattress to prevent your child from getting trapped. If you feel any gaps, adjust the rail and re-tighten.
