How bid is the spacing between the bars on the headboard? Can my 2 yr old get her head stuck in there?

The bars are not straight up and down, they make for upside down U's. My son got his on his on his third bday, but we haven't had any issues. The space between bars varies though.

Not much space at all. Our headrests are adjustable and we raised them a bit to get the "hook" around the bar but, if a little bit of the bar is showing, I think you could get the hook around it. The metal hook is about the size of a pencil but it is heavy metal and quite sturdy. We pushed our headrests back down on top of the metal hook but you can unscrew the screw attached to the hook (long, long screw) and let the hook go under and around the bar and then screw it back up and against the outside of the headrest. Hope this makes sense.

There is enough room in the foot area. My son loves this board and now my daughter does too. They actually fight over who gets to ride the board. They stand for as long is needed. No problems.

As JLo C. said, as ong as they can sit up and hold up their heads no problem. The seat is somewhat slippery as it is all wood and would be a long fall if they did wriggle out. Look for the attachments on craigslist and such. We are going to make our own cushion for it. Our 2 year old uses it but our one year old is still in the regular high chair.

The way I have mine set up, there is a 9" gap at the head and a 9" gap at the foot. If I remember correctly, when I was setting it up, I may have been able to make it so that there was almost no gap at the head...maybe even at the foot...or a choice of one or the other...but I realized that when I turned my mom on her side to change her, her face would be right up against the rail and I would risk injuring her if I wasn't careful. There is a designated place on the bed frame to place the piece that the rail attaches to but I believe you can place it in other places, but it wouldn't be in the little cut out notch that is in the designated place. That cut out notch is very small. Whether the piece would slip over time I don't know.

It would hook onto your bar but there would not be leg room for your child's legs unless the face where the child's feet would be is completely open.

Right at 25 inches, using a bed/frame with a pop up trundle...no box springs, just a mattress. My daughter doesn't prop her pillows up against the shelf; so she doesn't have any problems with it. I did not bolt the headboard to the bed frame because the holes don't line up, so I could jack it up some if needed. She puts stuffed animals, nail polish, IPod dock, fan, etc. on her shelves and hasn't had any problems at all. Hope this helps.

i'm not sure if all frames have a portion at the head of bed that the posts from the headboard can fit in - I got another frame so it would have that area for the headboard post to fit in and it turned out my son's frame already had an area for the posts - so that's what you have to check

I believe so. I was going to do that, but the configuration of my son's room did not leave enough room. I think that the bottom of the headboard is flat to allow the head of the bed to sit up against it. They show the headboard with one of their beds.

My 4.5 year old is 44 inches tall and when the canopy is open he is pretty much right to the top. When it's closed it is all bunched up behind his head which is kinda annoying but if they're not bothered by it no big deal. If I were to do it all over I would get the baby jogger summit x3 since the head room is much better.

I measured everything for you with an actual tape measured, so I am not just guessing. Measured the length where you would put the mattress in...77 inches 78 pushing it. My daughter has a regular twin in it, but I would say there is a 3-4 inch gap around the perimeter of the mattress and the head boards. She just puts the pillows around the mattress, so it looks like a sofa. She is 10 so she is in no danger of getting her head caught between the mattress and the bed. I would not get this bed for a young child, only for a pre-teen and up. Good luck!

There are openings for a screw/wing nut. We attached our headboard bit it's all about the spacing and height of the headboard/legs.

The gap between the bars is about 3/4 inch. Seems it would have to be a very skinny and nimble rat to escape. Plenty of room; ours houses a chincilla

I haven't put it together yet, but I took out some of the parts to measure the spacing for rats I'll be getting soon... The bars I checked are JUST under 1/2 inch spacing. I hope that helps :)

The spacing is about 3 to 4 inches. I will double check when I get hm later.I love mine and feel very secure when I have that window open that my child is completely safe. I put mine up at about 6 months old so that she would be use to it being there once she started walking or pulling herself up to stand.

It was difficult for me to measure the center height from the floor because it's pushed against the wall with no room to move it out, but I'm thinking about 58 1/2 inches high in the center, plus or minus a half inch. I have queen mattresses with a queen bed frame I got with the mattresses at the store. I thought I would be able to attach the headboard to the frame with the given hardware, but no. The headboard legs are too narrow to attach to my standard queen frame. I have had it for 3-4 months and I haven't problem solved this yet. I just stood the headboard against the wall and shoved my bed against it. It looks good. I need to go to home depot and find out if there are some sort of brackets I can use to attach to the headboard and then to the bed frame. Kinda a pain, but I do LOVE the headboard. It's very gorgeous! I wouldn't want another one, other than the not fitting the frame, it's PERFECT!

The bars are 1 inch apart. If your pets heads are that size, they'll squeeze through.
