The diagram also shows the positioning of the Securement Post on the same side as the Securement Strap.

3. Securing the Rail Assembly

Figure 3 Description: This figure demonstrates securing the Rail Assembly to the Base Assembly using the Securement Strap. Two views are shown: one labeled 'Strap NOT Secured' and another labeled 'Strap Secured', indicating the proper fastening of the strap.

4. Placing the Bed Rail Product

Figure 4 Description: This figure depicts the placement of the assembled Bed Rail Product. It shows the Rail Assembly positioned between the Mattress and the Bed Frame.

5. Securing the Safety Strap
