I think it is important for everyone to get them for their little kids. When we were at POR five years ago my DS (then 5 years old) fell out of bed and split his lip open on the bed frame the first night of our trip. It was horrible. We had the ambulance come, and before they would send the paramedics, they had security come and interview us, and they took my husband off to question him (while going to the resort store to buy tylenol)Ya, like we would beat our son while we were sleeping at 12:30 am. Everyone, for days looked at us like we had beat him!!! A tough lesson learned....If you have small kids, definitely request the bedrails!!!
