We thought about a Bunkbed/loft bed for the oldest but after studying the stats I chickened out! I wanted them for the sheer neatness of it (having wanted one as a kid myself! LOL!) The stats were worrisome enough for me to decide not to get them but then I also recall memories of a neighborhood child not faring so well after an accident in a bed too… and well that just sent me running!

Anyway, hope you are well!

If you were wanting the convenience of two beds in the floor space of one, perhaps look into beds that are just high enough to allow for a trundle bed to slip underneath.

I personally wouldn’t put a toddler on a top bunk (or loft bed), but older kids? No problem. They tend to run and scurry and climb and leap and if it isn’t the bed, it will be falling down the stairs, or tripping on the sidewalk, or tumbling out of a tree or crashing their bicycle or any number of random accidents. It’s just not worth stressing about, especially if you’re looking at something space-saving like loft beds with the student desk and shelves and drawers underneath the loft.

Statistics will tell you that anything is dangerous. My neice rolled out of her normal bed and got a concussion, while I never had an injury from my bunkbeds.

We love ‘em. We, however, are not science.
