Kids Double Bunk Bed
Double bunk beds for kids are a great option for siblings sharing the same space. It is important to remember that the child who sleeps on the upper level is over six years old, and that you do not allow horseplay or jumping on beds.
Check that the mattress foundation doesn't have large gaps that could let children to pass through.
Safety
Bunk beds are safe for children to sleep in as long as they are properly installed and if parents follow certain safety guidelines. The first step is to make sure that the bunk bed is set in an area that is cornered, so that it doesn't wobble when kids climb up and down the ladder.
It is important to teach your children not to play on the bunk bed or within it. Get rid of any toys that could pose dangerous to trip on. Children should be taught to use the ladder at any time they wish to exit or enter the bunk bed.
Children should not be allowed to sit on the top bunk until they reach at minimum six years old. This is because younger children are more likely to not have the maturity and coordination necessary to navigate the ladder safely. Additionally it is important to ensure that the guardrails of the upper bunk are securely anchored and that there are no gaps that can allow children to slip through and end up trapped under the mattress.
The foundation of the lower and upper bunks should be made of solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems can collapse under the weight and can cause serious injuries. It is also a good idea to to reinforce the bunk's bottom with cross-ties to stop it from shifting under the weight of the children.
It is also recommended to secure the bunk's bottom with a safety rail when children will be sleeping on it alone. This will prevent the child from falling over the edge of the bunk, if they roll out in the night.
A simple measure to protect yourself is to make sure that the bunk bed does not rest directly on top of a ceiling fan. This will decrease the chance of injuries or accidents occurring when the ceiling fan is running. In addition the bunk bed should be positioned away from windows as this reduces the chance of children reaching them from the top of the bunk bed.
Style
As children grow and transition from a crib to a bed that is a single size they may like to be part of the big kid's room. Bunk beds are a great way to accomplish this. They come in different styles and finishes that will fit into any style. They also help save space so kids have more room for play or storage. Bunk beds come in different sizes for children of all ages. They also come with stairs or ladders, which can make it easier for children to climb up and down from their beds.
