Bunk beds are a popular choice for kids' rooms. However they can be dangerous if not properly inspected or constructed.

The danger of injury is the highest for children who are younger, as they aren't able to perceive the fullness of space.

This is one of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents to not allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk.

Parents can ensure their children's bunk beds are secure by observing a few simple rules. For example, a ladder should be placed on the outside of the bunk, and not inside of it. The rails should also be at least 5 inches above the mattress, and the space to climb into and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. The beds should not be placed close to windows or behind objects that could fall on children as they sleep.

Parents should strictly follow the instructions of the manufacturer when building a bunk bed. Screws should be tightened properly but not so tightly that they crack the wood. The bed should not move or creak. In the end, it's a good idea to have the bunk beds checked by a professional after assembly and then be tested by an expert before allowing children to use them.
