Simple Steps to Safer Bunk Beds
In a large study, bunk beds only caused about 10% of all the injuries in children who were hurt by falling out of bed. But those falls could cause more serious injuries, including brain trauma.
To help protect your children:
- install bed rails around the top bunk
- put the bed ladder away during the day, when its not in use
- install carpeting around the bunk bed
- closely supervise children while they play on bunk beds.
