Alternative to teething/guard rails

Zeener

So, we've ordered our nursery furniture and found out after the fact that there isn't a teething rail that would fit the crib (I think that's what it is called).?

?

Are there any alternatives? We're spending a good chunk of $$ on a convertible crib and would hate to have it all damaged. Any suggestions??

We used hand towels with DD#1.  She would take the teething rails off and basically play drums with them or toss them to get us into the room.  We took a couple hand towels and zip-tied them to the sides of the crib that she tried chewing on then cut the ties short and made sure they were placed where she couldn't scratch herself on them.  Worked for us.

i saw ones for convertible cribs on BRU website...i'm asking my mother to make me one, since i'm a cheap skate and can't see spending $19.99 on this item, but i think it is probably a great product. ?i may ask her to make it our of a towel that matches with our bedding set. ?just a thought

i can't make the link clicky, but you can cut and paste. ?

You can sew a cover with fabric and add ties and tie it on. I know ive seen them if you google crib rail cover a few things come up...

BRU sells teether rail guards for convertilbe cribs, in separates (one for the front and then the sides) I think the prices were 19-25 dollars and were fleece.

Check on etsy too. I think I remember seeing someone that can make custom ones to match your decor if you wanted, about the same prices, probably more if you wanted matching stuff.

Pearlekids.com has crib rail guards in several different colors. I got the blue and brown polka dot one and it has been a life saver!
