10 Things That Your Family Taught You About Kids Double Bunk Bed

Kids Double Bunk Bed

The double bunk beds are perfect for siblings who share the same room. It is important to remember that the child sleeping on the upper level is older than six years old and that you stop horseplay and jumping on beds.

Make sure that the mattress foundation does not have large gaps which could allow a child 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 positioned in an appropriate corner to ensure that it doesn't shake as children climb up and down the ladder.

It is important to teach your children to not play on the bunk bed or around it. Take away any toys that pose a tripping hazard. Children should also be taught to utilize the ladder to get out and into the bunk above.

Children should not be allowed on the top bunk until they are at least six years old. This is because younger children are more likely to lack the maturity and coordination necessary to be able to navigate the ladder safely. In addition it is important to ensure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are properly anchored and that there aren't any gaps which might let children slide through and end up trapped under the mattress.

Another important aspect to be considered is that the foundation of both the lower and upper bunks should be constructed of solid wood, not slats.
