Parents should supervise children's sleep particularly on the top bunk and teach them how to use the bunk beds safely. The majority of the injuries that occur in bunk beds result from improper use, not the bunk bed's structure or design. Bunk bed injuries can be avoided by regular maintenance and supervision.
Make sure the guardrails of a bunk bed are high enough to protect your child from falling out of bed. The height of the bottom bunk should be 30 inches or less from the floor and the top bunk must have a clearance of at least 5 inches between the mattress and the guardrail.
Use the tools supplied by the manufacturer to achieve the most effective results. Don't improvise or substitute parts, as these could cause structural damage. Once the bed is assembled and shaken gently, check its stability. If the bed is unstable it could be an indication that the connections require tightening or be reinforced. The mattress platform must be a tight fit. It shouldn't move in order to compromise the strength of the ladder.
Train your children to use a ladder safely. Ladders should only be used to climb up and down the bed; they shouldn't be played on or used for roughhousing, as this increases the risk of injuries. Install a nightlight near the ladder to alert your children that they're climbing up or down at night.
Keep the area around bunk beds free from items that could cause harm. This includes belts, scarves, and ropes. These could strangle children or create other hazardous situations. Furthermore bunk beds should not be placed in a manner that blocks doors or windows that are specifically designed for escape during fires. These obstructions could increase the severity of injuries sustained by falling through a window or becoming trapped in a closed space.
