I would think that nobody would want to see their baby in the hospital.  Children shouldn’t become ill enough to warrant a hospital stay, to spend nights away from parents and alone in a hospital bed.  Yet children do become ill or are part of accidents which will lead them to a hospital for treatment and recovery.  Babies are special people; they are small and helpless and need special medical instruments and specific hospital furniture.  One such specialty item is the Pediatric Hospital Bed offered by Rehabmart.

This hospital bed is ideal for children 2 years old and up, or for children that are up to 5 feet in height. Hospitalized patients need hospital beds for a reason and a regular sized hospital bed is just too large and dangerous for a child.  The Pediatric Hospital Bed is made especially for smaller bodies to lie within a safe, comfortable and confined area while also providing optimal ease for the caregivers to assist the child.

The Pediatric Hospital Bed has three motors which run on 120 V, 60 Hz power and features an automatic battery backup for a continuous energy system.  The motors can position the bed in different heights, in a Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg position, and moving of the footboard and headboard which are all controlled electronically.

The bed also comes with two base frames, extremely low positions for special needs children and at-risk patients, and also easy-to-use side rails made of injection plastic that are capable of moving up and down or that remain in a solid fixed position, and when the rails are lowered, they are easily concealed under the bed.  This pediatric bed offers positioning, accessibility and comfort that is unparalleled in the industry for pediatric patients.

The Pediatric Hospital Bed frame is made from powder-coated steel tubing and has two ABS vacuum valve-formed plastic covers which cover the entire bed frame and can be easily removed for cleaning and disinfecting, as well as all of the other parts of the bed which can be removed and easily disinfected, including the footboard and headboard.  All of the metal parts of the bed are painted with an electrostatic powder coating that will protect against corrosion thus extending the life of the bed.  

Moving the bed is also easy with the casters that can be adjusted in three different positions, either mobile, locked, or a directional lock.  Revolving rubber bumpers at each end of the bed for safety and child-friendly decal mounting on both panels help make this bed safer and more secure, while being more aesthetically pleasing to youngsters.

A stay in a hospital can be scary and lonely for anybody, especially for children.  More and more hospitals have specialized areas or units for children and pediatric hospital beds are a main component for a quicker and safer recovery for a sick or injured child.  A child shouldn’t be in a hospital but if they do have to spend nights sleeping in a hospital room, at least they should be able to get a better night’s sleep when using a Pediatric Hospital Bed.
