Kids Double Bunk Bed
Kids double bunk beds are a great option for siblings who share the same space. Remember that the child on the top bunk bed must be at least six years older. Also, do not allow jumping or horseplay on the beds.
Also, make sure that the mattress's foundation isn't filled with massive gaps that could permit the child to slip in.
Safety
Bunk beds are a safe spot for children to sleep if they're set up correctly and if parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. First, make sure the bunk bed is placed in a corner, so that it doesn't shake when children climb the ladder.
It is essential to teach your children to not play on the bunk bed or around it. Remove any toys that could pose dangerous to trip on. Children should be taught to use the ladder whenever they want to exit or enter the upper bunk.
Children should not be allowed to sleep on the top bunk unless older than six years old. The reason for this is that children younger than six may not have the maturity or coordination to safely navigate the ladder. In addition, it is essential to make sure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are securely secured and there aren't any gaps that might let children 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 bunks are prone 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 under the weight of the children.
It is a good idea when a child is sleeping alone on the bottom bunk, to install a safety rail. This will help to prevent the child from falling off of the edge of the bunk should they roll out of bed in the night.
Another precaution that is easy to apply is to ensure that the bunk bed isn't situated directly beneath the ceiling fan. This will decrease the chance of injuries or accidents when the ceiling fan is running. The bunk bed should be kept away from windows to decrease the possibility that children might attempt to get into the windows from the higher level.
