Kids Double Bunk Bed
Double bunk beds for kids are a great option for siblings who share the same space. Just remember that it's recommended that the child who sleeps on the upper level is at least six years old, and that you stop horseplay and jumping on beds.
Make sure that the mattress foundation doesn't have any gaps large enough, which could allow children to pass to pass 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 that the bunk bed is set in a corner, so that it doesn't wobble when kids climb up 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 an accident hazard. Children should also be taught to use the ladder to get in and out of the bunk bed.
Children should not be allowed to sit on the top bunk until they reach at minimum six years old. The reason for this is that younger children might not have the maturity or coordination required to safely navigate the ladder. Additionally it is crucial to make sure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are securely anchored and that there are no gaps that could let children slip through and fall under the mattress.
Another important safety feature to take into consideration is that the foundation area of both the lower and upper bunks should be built with solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems could collapse under the weight of the kids and cause serious injuries. It is also recommended to strengthen the bottom bunk with cross-ties to stop it from buckling or shifting under the weight of children.
Finally, it is a good idea to anchor the bottom bunk with a safety rail when a child will be sleeping in it by himself. This will prevent the child from falling off the edge of the bunk should they get up in the night.
Another safety measure that is easy to implement is to make sure that the bunk bed isn't situated directly beneath a ceiling fan. This will prevent the risk of injuries and accidents when the fan is running. The bunk bed should be kept away from windows to minimize the possibility that children might attempt to get into the windows from the higher level.
Style
As kids get older and move from a crib to a single mattress, they might wish to feel as if they are part of a big kid room. Bunk beds are a great solution to achieve that.
