Make sure that the mattress foundation doesn’t have any large gaps, which could let the child to pass through.
Safety
Bunk beds are a safe spot for children to sleep if they’re installed correctly and if the parents adhere to 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 wobble when kids climb up and down the ladder.
It is essential to teach your children to not play on the bunk bed or around it. Get rid of any toys that could pose an accident hazard. Children should be taught to use the ladder whenever they need to exit or enter the upper bunk.
Children should not be allowed to sleep on the top bunk unless they’re older than six years old. This is because younger children are more likely to not have the maturity and coordination necessary to navigate the ladder safely. Additionally, it is essential to make sure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are properly secured and there aren’t any gaps that can allow children to slip through and end up trapped under the mattress.
The foundation area of the lower and upper bunks should be built of 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 with cross-ties to stop it from buckling or shifting under the kids’ weight.
