Kids Double Bunk Bed
The double bunk beds are ideal for siblings who share the same room. Just remember that it's recommended that the child sleeping on the top level is at least six years old and that you stop horseplay and jumping on beds.
Check that the mattress foundation doesn't have large gaps that could let the child to pass through.
Safety
Bunk beds are safe for children to sleep in as long as they are installed correctly and parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. The first thing to do is to make sure that the bunk bed is set in an area that is cornered and doesn't shake as children climb up and down the ladder.
It is important to teach your children not to play on the bunk bed or within it. Remove any toys that pose dangerous to trip on. Children should be taught to use the ladder at any time they wish to enter or exit the bunk bed.
Children shouldn't be allowed to climb the top bunk until they reach at least six years old. The reason is that younger children are likely to lack the maturity and coordination needed to safely navigate the ladder. It is also essential to ensure that the guardrails are properly secured to the bunk above and there aren't any gaps children could slip through to get trapped beneath the bed.
Another important aspect to consider is that the foundation area of the upper and lower bunk should be constructed with solid wood, not slats. The slat-based systems can collapse under the weight of children and cause serious injuries. Also, it is a good idea to reinforce the bottom bunk with cross ties to stop it from shifting or buckling under the kids' weight.
Finally, it is a good idea to anchor the bottom bunk with a safety rail if a child will be sleeping on it by themselves. This will prevent the child from falling over the edge of the bunk should they roll out during the night.
Another safety measure that is easy to implement is to ensure that the bunk bed isn't placed directly under the ceiling fan. This will decrease the chance of injuries or accidents when the ceiling fan is on. The bunk bed should also be kept away from windows to decrease the chance that children attempt to get into the windows from the upper level.
