Kids Double Bunk Bed
The double bunk beds are ideal for siblings sharing a room. Be aware that the child who sleeps on the top floor is over six years old and that you do not allow horseplay or jumping on beds.
Also, ensure that the mattress's foundation doesn't have large gaps that could allow a child to slip through.
Safety
Bunk beds are safe for children to sleep in if they are properly erected and if parents follow certain safety guidelines. The first step is to ensure that the bunk bed is set in a corner to ensure that it doesn't shake as children climb up and down the ladder.
It is crucial to instruct your children to never play on the bunk bed or around it. Get rid of any toys that pose dangerous to trip on. Children should be taught to use the ladder at any time they wish to get into or out of the upper bunk.
Children shouldn't be allowed to sleep on the top bunk unless they're older than six years old. This is because children younger than six are more likely to not have the maturity and coordination required to safely navigate the ladder. In addition, it is essential to make sure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are properly secured and there aren't any gaps that can let children slide through and fall under the mattress.
Another important aspect to take into consideration is that the foundation area of the upper and lower bunk should be constructed with solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems can collapse under the weight and could cause serious injuries. It is also a good idea to reinforce the bottom bunk with cross ties to prevent it from buckling or shifting under the kids' weight.
It is a good idea when a child is sleeping in a bed that is not their own bunk, to install a safety rail. This will stop the child from falling off the edge of the bunk if they fall out of bed at night.
Another precaution that is easy to implement is to ensure that the bunk bed isn't placed directly under the ceiling fan. This will prevent the risk of injuries and accidents occurring when the fan is operating. Also, the bunk bed should be positioned away from windows, since this will reduce the risk of children trying to reach them from the upper part of the bunk bed.
Style
As children get older and move from a crib to a single-sized bed, they might desire to feel part of the bigger kid's room. Bunk beds provide a option to achieve this. They come in many designs and finishes to match any design. They also help save space so kids can have more room to play or storage.
