There are grooves on the steps to prevent slips when climbing up and down the bed.

Guard Rails

Guard rails give children the confidence and the freedom to climb into and out of bed independently. They must be positioned correctly to ensure that there are no gaps or loosening between the guardrails and the frame of the bed.
