How safe is this to leave in bed with a child 4 years of age?

I would avoid using using this product when the Dream Lite Pillow Pet is left in, on or near bassinets, cribs, mattresses, playpens or anywhere a infant, toddler or young child can easily get tangled in the cord while sleeping. Placement on a nightstand or elsewhere in the room when using overnight with the AC Adapter is highly recommended.

I think with supervision it would be ok. My four year old likes to play with it but needs help sometimes.

Very safe I bought it for my son last year when he was 9 mos no issues we still play with it large enough to enjoy small enough it doesn't take up the whole living room

Since a 4 year old in most cases is very mobile, I recommend buying something cheaper and lighter ... Of you are thinking to have a backup for when your 4 year old gets tiered I think there are much lighter and cheaper options out there....

It depends how strong the 4 year old is. If you close it tight then the answer is no. However, the teacher can help.

I have been using it for my 4 year old when she transitioned from crib to big bed & they have worked great. They dont move if you position them correctly.

So far, it's been great for my four year old. He's had a few accidents while it's been on the bed and nothing has gotten through to the mattress.

I bought this last year for my 4 month old for when we went to the beach on vacation. I don't see why you couldn't use it for any age that physically fits into the bed.

Yes. The latch mechanism is interesting, but if you show your 4 year old how to operate it, it should not be a problem.

I think it is unlikely (depending on the age of a child). You really need to know how to do it and have more refined fine motor skills. It has never occurred to my 4 year old (and she tends to LOVE figuring out ways of "un-childproofing").

My son is 2 1/2 years old and has no issues with pushing the button to release the cars or with knowing how the cars go down the tracks. I would say any child 2 y/o and beyond will be able to enjoy it. the product is surely safe for the recommended 18 months and beyond. Just keep in mind that those that are younger then 18 months will more then likely have vertical stability issues as they are still learning how to keep upright while performing other tasks that require many adjustments to their positions.

Your answer depends on the children, when the bed is down it is as secure as any bed and the hardware is stable and secure. I would not suggest jumping up and down on as children have a tendency to do. I slept in a bunk bed as a child and my parents had strict rules. I'm very happy with the one I built, follow the instructions and you should have no problems.

I believe it's safe for every night use. We kept our son in a crib until he was almost 4 years old for safety reasons, he was a crazy active sleeper. It's been about a year, he's almost 5 & has not fallen out of bed, yet. I do check on him before I go to bed & often move him back up to his pillows because he finds his way to the only unsafe spot without bumpers, the foot of the bed. We had a typical bed rail on our 3 year old daughter's bed & I ended up switching that out with these foam bumpers because they were working well with our boy, changing sheets are SO much easier, & they look better than the clunky bed rail.

I would say at least 4/5 years old. I got this bed for my 7 yr old, I needed a space saver as well. Its not very high but I would not recommend for a young child who may not comprehend they can fall out of the bed. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you mean by safely, but it has worked well for us for the past 8 months. There are straps that you are supposed to attach to the back of the dresser/changing table. I found that many people don't do this and the changing pad could slide off. We attached ours and it works very well and is safe.

Very safe but still need supervision. Plays well indoor and outdoors. My 2 year old nephew loves it both ways. He is a big kid 3 feet 4 inches about 30 pounds. Older cousins age 5 and 7 also play.

I agree. I don't think 2 children could use this at the same time. It is also not as safe as having them sleep separately.
