Kids Double Bunk Bed
Kids double bunk bed are a great choice for siblings sharing the same space. Remember that the child on the top bunk bed must be at least six years older. Additionally, you should not allow jumping or horseplay on the beds.

Safety
Bunk beds are a safe spot for children to sleep if they are set up correctly and if parents follow certain safety guidelines. First, make sure that the bunk bed is set in a corner to ensure it doesn't wobble when kids climb the ladder.
It is also essential to instruct children to not play around or on the bunk bed, and to take away any toys that could be tripping hazards. Children should be taught to use the ladder whenever they want to exit or enter the upper bunk.
Children should not be allowed to sit on the top bunk until they reach at minimum six years old. The reason is that younger children are more likely to lack the maturity and coordination required to be able to navigate the ladder safely. Additionally, it is essential to make sure that the guardrails on the upper bunk are properly secured and there are no gaps that might let children slide through and fall beneath the mattress.
Another important safety aspect to consider is that the foundation of the upper and lower bunk should be constructed with solid wood and not slats. The slat-based systems can collapse when weighed down by kids and cause serious injuries. Also, it is recommended to strengthen the bottom bunk with cross ties to stop it from shifting or buckling under the weight of children.
In the end, it's an excellent idea to secure the bunk's bottom with a safety rail if the child is sleeping on it alone. This will stop the child from falling over the edge of the bunk, if they roll out in the night.
A simple precaution is to ensure that the bunk bed doesn't rest directly on top of the ceiling fan. This will prevent the risk of accidents and injuries when the fan is running. The bunk bed should be placed away from windows to decrease the possibility that children might attempt to get into the windows from the upper levels.
