Kids Double Bunk Bed
The double bunk beds are great for siblings who share the same room. Make sure that the child in the top bunk bed must be at least six years older. Additionally, you should not allow jumping or horseplay on the beds.
Also, make sure that the mattress foundation area doesn’t have huge gaps that could allow a child to slip through.
Safety
Bunk beds can be a safe space for children to sleep in if they are installed correctly and if the parents follow certain safety guidelines. First, make sure the bunk bed is in a corner to ensure it doesn’t wobble when kids climb up the ladder.
It is also essential to instruct children not to play around or on the bunk bed, and to get rid of any toys that could be tripping hazards. Children should also be instructed to utilize the ladder to get into and out of the bunk above.
Children shouldn’t be allowed to sit on the top bunk until they are at least six years old. The reason for this is that younger children may not have the maturity or coordination needed to safely navigate the ladder. It is also essential to ensure that the guardrails are properly secured on the upper bunk and that there aren’t any gaps that children could slip through to be trapped under the bed.
The foundation of the lower and upper bunks should be built of solid wood, not slats. Slat-based systems could collapse when weighed down by children and result in serious injuries. It is also a good idea 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 attach a safety rail. This will prevent the child from falling over the edge of the bunk in the event that they fall asleep in the night.
A simple measure to protect yourself is to ensure that the bunk bed does not sit directly under a ceiling fan. This reduces the chance of accidents or injuries when the ceiling fan is on. The bunk bed should be placed away from windows to minimize the possibility that children might attempt to enter the windows from the higher level.
Style
As children grow and move from a cot to a single-sized bed, they might want to feel part of the big kid’s space. Bunk beds are a great method to accomplish 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. Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate children of all different ages. These beds can also come with stairs or ladders to make it easier for kids to get into and out of their beds.
