Safety Tips For Bunk Bed
- Whenever you plan to buy a bunk bed, always check its sturdiness.
To test its sturdiness, place your hand on the top bed and shake it
to check, whether there is any kind of movement.
- A bunk bed should have at least two upper bunk guardrails, with
at least one rail on each side.
- Make sure that the bunk bed doesn't have openings on the
guardrails, because it is unsafe for small children. The openings
would allow a child's head or body to slip through.
- Bunk beds must have all the details along with a label with the
name, address of the manufacturer, the model number, and the month
and year of manufacture.
- Make sure that you are also provided the instructions about the
proper mattress size to fit the bed frame and on how to use the beds
safely.
- Once you have found a bed you're interested in purchasing, make
sure that the bed meets both the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety
Commission) and the ASTM (American Society for Testing and
Materials) requirements.
- Ensure that the bed placement is correct. The best place should
be in a corner, where the bed will have support from two walls.
- Top bunk placement of the bed should be done in such a way that
an adult should be able to enter and exit the top bunk without
hitting the ceiling, ceiling fans, or light fittings.
- The ladder should be locked into the bed frame. One should place
a nightlight near the ladder, so that sleepy children can find their
way down safely.
- Parents should examine the bed for any possible opening, such as
in railings or slats, which could allow the child's head or upper
body through.
