Kids Double Bunk Bed
The double bunk beds are great for siblings who share rooms. Be aware that the child who sleeps on the top level is older than six years old, and that you ban horseplay and jumping on beds.
Check that the mattress foundation doesn't have any gaps large enough, which could let a child to pass through.
Safety
Bunk beds can be a safe place for children to sleep if they're set up correctly and if parents follow certain safety guidelines. The first step is to make sure that the bunk bed is set in a corner and doesn't wobble when kids climb up and down the ladder.
It is also important to instruct children to not play on or around the bunk bed and take away any toys that could be dangers to tripping. Children should be taught to use the ladder whenever they want to enter or exit the bunk bed.
Children shouldn't be allowed to sleep on the top bunk unless they are older than six years old. This is because younger children are more likely to lack the maturity and coordination needed to be able to navigate the ladder safely. Additionally it is important to ensure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are properly secured and there aren't any gaps which can allow children to slip through and end up trapped under the mattress.
The foundation of the lower and upper bunks should be constructed from solid wood not slats. Slat-based systems are susceptible to collapse under the weight and can cause serious injuries. It is also a good idea to reinforce the bottom bunk using cross-ties to prevent it from moving due to the weight of children.
In the end, it's a good idea to anchor the bottom bunk with a safety rail when children will be sleeping on it alone. This will stop the child from falling off the edge of the bunk if they get up in the night.
A simple measure to protect yourself is to ensure that the bunk bed doesn't be placed directly under a ceiling fan. This will reduce the chance of accidents and injuries when the fan is running. The bunk bed should be kept away from windows to reduce the risk that children will try to reach the windows from the upper level.
Style
As children grow and move from a cot to a single-sized bed they may like to be part of the big kid's room. Bunk beds are an excellent way to accomplish this. They are available in a variety of styles and finishes to suit any design scheme. They also save space, meaning that kids have more space for storage or play. Bunk beds come in different sizes for children of all ages. They also come with ladders or stairs, which makes it easier for children to climb and descend from their beds.
