What is the Right Age for Bunk Beds?
I often get emails from prospective customers asking to know what the right age is for their child to move into a bunk bed. Since we have several different styles of bunk beds to choose from, from 49 inches to 72 inches tall, I always ask which be they are interested in.
On the whole, most bunk beds are suitable for children 5 years and up, but it also depends upon the child. As long as your child is grown enough to safely climb the bunk bed ladder, then there's really no reason to not get a bunk bed. Usually the climb up to the top bunk is a piece of cake, but initially the climb down can be somewhat daunting. As long as you are there reassuring your child and helping him/her find that first step on the way down, then there's no problem.
Kids learn fast and mastering the bunk bed ladder will come quickly and even give your child a sense of accomplishment if they had to get over their fears to make the up and down climb. Not only that, but the top bunk is a really cool place for a kid to be. It brings them at eye level with mom and dad, and that's a pretty neat place to be when you're used to being only waist high. :)
