Teether rail comes in 4 pieces made to fit a standard crib rail. Although it fits on easily, it also can be removed easily by your toddler. My 13 month old has discovered how to remove each piece, chew on it, and proceed to throw it to the floor. Then, he goes on to chew the crib rail anyway. This isn't worth the money -- I would rather pay more for a product that does the job it's supposed to do.

my baby is 9+ months now, with 3rd teeth coming out. he bends over and chew on anything in front of him to ease his teeth pain. He's also recently learned to pull himself up to stand in his crib. so crib rail became his favorite chewing thing. Luckily we installed this teether before his top teeth came out, and he's been chewing away on the teether. he has once or twice pulled on the teether to make it come off on one side, but never completely pulled it off. to resolve the problem of it coming off easily, you can tie it, use velcro on it, or tape it. frankly i think the material is nice, and you can't find anything better than this on the market right now. it definitely beats letting the baby chew away on the wood/plastic crib rail. it's easy to clean, too. i personally think it's a great product for the baby.

The tops of my son's crib rails are rounded over. The Crib Rail Teether slides on easily enough, but doesn't snap into place. My son (12 months) pulled it off in less than a week. After he pulled one portion off, he fell back down onto the crib mattress, jabbing the end of the crib rail teether into the bottom of his chin causing a gash, but not serious thankfully. Please check to see that your child cannot easily remove the teether strips. If he can, an accident like this can easily happen. If the strips stayed in place, they would have been fine. However, each crib is different, so check first to see that the strips are a good "fit".

I noticed my kiddo gnawing on his crib rails. I purchased and installed this product. The rail guards NEVER stayed in place! Without fail they would begin to pop up within minutes of putting them on. Our rails must be too wide for this product. I guess it did work a little. My son would spend time prying the rails off and throwing them on the ground instead of eating the rails.

I bought this product thinking it was going to be the solution to the (teething) problem. WRONG! My son figured out how to pull them off the same day that they were installed and now as soon as he goes in to his crib, the first thing he does is stand up and pull them off. Then he throws them out of the crib! A few times I even saw them in the crib with him sleeping on top of them. NO GOOD..... Too bad there isn't some better way to get this product to stay in place where it belongs.

This was a waste of money. My son took it right off the crib rail and threw them to the ground. Perhaps if we had put it on the crib prior to him chewing the crib he wouldn't have known it was there. We purchased the crib rail teether after he had already chewed along the whole rail. We have another baby on the way so we will put the teether on right away and see if that makes a difference.

at about 8 months, our son figured out how to take the teethers off and throw them on the floor. he made this discovery one day while he was pulling himself up and the teether came off. he went flying backwards and hit his head on the crib. now the first thing he does as soon as he goes in the crib is to pull each one off and watch it fall on the floor. he usually reserves the last one to use as a drumstick against the wall. they really should come up with a way to make it harder for the teethers to come off rail.

I bought these to protect the painted wood edge of my new Ikea crib. Well, first off, when I removed them from the package, they smell VERY BAD. Supposedly they are nontoxic, but they certainly smell very plasticky.

And then when I put them on the edge of the crib, they slide on easily... and off easily. I can lift them completely off with just one finger, hardly any pressure at all.

There are four 12" pieces, but my quite standardsized crib is longer than that, and so there is a good 4" unprotected, which we know will just attract little teeth, and allows the edge of the pieces to be accessible for fingers to pry them up easily. On top of that, they slide so easily, with one finger, you can push them back and forth on the rail. The package says "highfriction plastic" but there doesn't seem to be any friction at all. They aren't a lot wider than the rail, in fact just fit on nicely, so they seem to be the right size, but they just slide around, back and forth, up and down. I would expect them to be a plastic that wouldn't slip easily laterally.

So I removed them immediately before my son did, and am returning them to the store. I wouldn't recommend these. I will be looking for a one-piece application that is longer than the crib rails that I can cut to size, preferably with adhesive.

My daughter started chewing on her crib and the wood would splinter into her mouth giving her something to choke on. I tried many different ways to avoid her chewing on the crib before buying these. After buying TWO packages to cover both rails on her crib, I came across the same problem that every other parent had. Yeah they slide right on, but my daughter could pull them right back off. Putting her down for a nap when she wasn't already 90% asleep meant she would get up and pull them off resulting in chewing on the crib again. I thought well maybe glue would work to hold it down but i wanted to be able to take them off incase something got under them. Well, we ended up screwing them on which doesn't look good but she can't pull them off and thats the point. But I think they could be designed a little better than they are. I gave them two stars cause they work now that we have screwed them on, but my daughter never hurt herself on them or when she would fall down onto her mattress (thankfully) but the screws helped. I think it was ridiculous having to buy two boxes though... wouldn't it make more sense to have 8 pieces in one box?

I don't agree with the dimensions listed on Amazon's description. It does come with 4 pieces that are about 12 inches long...which will cover one side of your crib. However, I don't know what the 1.5 x 5 part is. I measured the ones I have and the inside of the plastic measures about 3/4 of an inch...and the outside of it is around an inch. The plastic is fairly flexible. I have the Aspen 4-in-1 crib and it fits my rails just fine. My 11 month olds have not pulled them off....yet ;) There is another listing for this same product, http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionheart-Crib-Rail-Teether/dp/B001JBALRQ/ref=pd_sbs_ba_5 , you might be able to get an idea of the size/shape of the crib rail it expects.

I covered just one side of their crib at first, but this seems to work and I just went out (to a local store) and bought another pair to cover the other side of the crib.

I recommend this product, however, you need to measure or consider your crib rails - they need to be on the skinny side.

Update: After several months of use, I noticed that the varnish from my cribs has come off of the crib and stuck to the inside of the teething rails. It is the very very top of the crib rail and not the entire crib rail. I hardly noticed until I looked at it harder. I still like what the product does, however, I'm disappointed that it has ruined the wood. My cribs are cheap anyway, but still, I take good care of my stuff. I don't know if someone put some furniture polish on the crib rail to make it do that (I didn't). I thought this was important and wanted to make sure you know about.
