I don't believe DOT has any rules saying you must have them. But try securing your load with straps without them. My GMC C-4500 came without and it is inconvenient to tie something down using the under bed bars that are spaced to allow for fuel filler hoses on the drivers side. Get some with stake pockets. Weld because the entire length is loadbearing.

Do pediatricians advise using bed rails for toddler beds?
Talk to your pediatrician about what is best for your child. Instead of bed rails, the safest device has a top and bottom support that runs the length of the mattress. Between the supports there is an expanse of mesh, which prevents injuries if the child bumps into it in the night. The appliance has two folding arms that slip under the mattress. There are different models. Make sure you purchase one that meets all the safety standards. This site has several options: http://www.thenewparentsguide.com/baby-bed-rails-1.htm There is no hard-and-fast pediatrician rule about installing bed rails. They do advise transitioning your child from crib to bed at around age three. If your child expresses fear about falling out of bed, that could signal the need for bed rails, till he gets used to sleeping in his big boy bed.

What car that can be flat towed?
To the best of my knowledge most 2 wheel rear drive cars and trucks can be towed without damaging the transmission (if by your question you mean "flat towed" as meaning towed behind a tow truck on it's rear wheels). Most, if not all, 4 wheel drive cars need to be towed ( carried up on) a flat bed truck. Having a flat bed truck carry a 4 wheel drive car will prevent damage to the transmission.
