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 it’s not in use
  • install carpeting around the bunk bed
  • closely supervise children while they play on bunk beds.
