Kids Double Bunk Bed
Kids double bunk beds are a great option for siblings who share the same room. Be kids bunk bed that the child who sleeps on the top level is over six years old and that you do not allow horseplay or jumping on beds.
Also, make sure the mattress's foundation doesn't have huge 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 parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. The first thing to do is to make sure that the bunk bed is placed in a corner, so that it doesn't shake as children climb up and down the ladder.
It is crucial to instruct your children to not play on the bunk bed or around it. Get rid of any toys that could be dangerous to trip on. Children should be taught to use the ladder whenever they need to exit or enter the bunk bed.
Children shouldn't be permitted to sleep on the top bunk unless they are older than six years old. The reason is that younger children may not have the maturity or coordination to safely climb the ladder. It is also important to make sure that the guardrails are properly secured on the upper bunk and that there aren't any gaps where children could slip through to be trapped under the bed.
Another important safety aspect to take into consideration is that the foundation of both the lower and upper bunk should be constructed with solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems are susceptible to collapse under the weight and could cause serious injuries. It is also a good idea to reinforce the bottom bunk using cross ties in order to prevent it from shifting under the weight of the children.
Finally, it is recommended to secure the bottom bunk by a safety rail if the child is sleeping on it alone. This will stop the child from falling over the edge of the bunk in the event that they fall asleep during the night.
A simple safety measure is to make sure that the bunk bed does not rest directly on top of the ceiling fan. This reduces the risk of injuries and accidents occurring when the fan is operating. The bunk bed should also be placed away from windows to minimize the risk that children will attempt to enter the windows from the upper levels.
