Children who are younger are at most risk of injuries because they don't have a fully developed sense of space. They are more likely to make use of their beds to play and jump off the top bunk.

Parents can ensure their children's bunk bed is safe by following a few basic rules. For instance, a ladder should be put on the outside of the bunk, and not inside. The rails should be at least 5 inches over the mattress, and the opening for climbing in and out of the bed should not exceed 15 inches. Additionally bed frames are not to be placed near a window or behind clutter that could fall on children as they sleep.

When building bunk beds, parents should follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. Screws should not be tightened so tightly as to crack the wood.

Bunk beds can free up space in a child's bedroom and add a touch of style. But it is vital that parents set ground rules for their children and supervise their beds carefully to prevent injuries.
