Thousands of children are injured by loft and bunk beds every year, with injuries ranging from broken bones, cuts and scrapes, as well as neck and head injuries. Many of these injuries could be avoided and prevented by implementing the right safety measures. The first step is to ensure the loft bed is properly positioned in the room. It should not be against the wall as this can cause children to be trapped between the bunk's wall and the top. Allow a space of at least 3 inches between the bottom of the guardrail and the top of your mattress foundation. When you are putting the bunk bed up ensure that it is away from things like blinds, curtains, windows and ceiling fans that can obstruct a child's view or cause her to fall off the bunk's side. The bunk should not be situated near anything that could hang from the rails, like cords or toys. Any bunk bed or loft bed must be built with a solid, sturdy frame. Select a frame constructed of sturdy materials like metal or pine. A platform or frame with slats is another option that could be safe and comfortable for your children. Loft beds and bunk beds with an solid platform or slats don't require a box spring which is safer for toddlers. Look for a loft with guardrails on both sides of the top level and a ladder that you are able to secure. Children younger than six years old should never sleep on the top bunk and you should adhere to this rule by frequently reminding them of the dangers. Also an evening lighting placed on the top bunk can aid children in finding their way back down in the darkness. A loft safety net is an important security measure. It is attached at the corners of the top bunk to keep children from falling. The nets are available in a wide assortment of sizes and colors to match any bedroom decor and are easy to install.
