Safety
Bunk beds can be a safe space for children to sleep in if they are properly installed and the parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. The first step is to ensure that the bunk bed is positioned in an appropriate corner, so that it doesn't shake as children climb up and down the ladder.
It is essential to teach your children to not play on the bunk bed or around it. Remove any toys that pose an accident hazard. Children should be taught to use the ladder at any time they wish to get into or out of the upper bunk.
Children shouldn't be allowed on the top bunk until they reach at least six years old. The reason is that younger children are more likely to lack the maturity and coordination needed to navigate the ladder safely. It is also crucial to ensure that the guardrails are properly secured to the bunk above and that there aren't any gaps children might slip through to get trapped beneath the bed.
Another important safety feature to consider is that the foundation area of the upper and lower bunks should be built with solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems are susceptible to collapse under the weight and could cause serious injuries. Also, it is a good idea to reinforce the bottom bunk with cross-ties to prevent it from shifting or buckling due to the weight of the children.

Also, the bunk bed should be set away from windows, since this reduces the danger of children trying to reach them from the upper part of the bunk bed.
