Loft beds are actually very popular these days, especially among children. They are great to look at, especially if they are painted in bright colors; save a lot of space; have become more affordable; and possess plenty of designs to choose.
However, they can also be potentially dangerous. Hundreds of kids have already been rushed to emergency rooms after falling from several feet off the ground.
Children Bed Rails
To prevent this scenario, it is important you can practice home safety. You can begin with the following:
1. Know when to use this type of bed. There is actually a more appropriate age for your child to start using a loft bed. It is best if you can give him one when he already knows how to climb the stairs and behave once he is already on top. Children who are below four to five years old are far better off sleeping in a much lower bed, preferably close to the parents.
2. Install the bed properly. One of the reasons why children meet accidents and injuries is because of the improper installation of the bed. The bed kit comes with directions, which you have to follow to a T. If you are uncomfortable installing the bed on your own, you can always request for an installation expert. The bed should not shake when someone climbs up.
3. Determine the maximum weight. Loft beds have their maximum weight capacity. Usually, it is 200 pounds. Though kiddos are generally small, they may fill the top bed with so many things, causing it to collapse.
4. Check the rails. Never purchase any bed that does not come with guard rails. Otherwise, your child is very prone to falling and suffering from injuries. The rail should not be too far from the mattress, and they should be at least three to five inches in height. The guard rail opening, on the other hand, should be less than three inches, preventing the head from getting caught in between the rails.
5. Do not place anything on the stairs or ladder. Remove clothing or any material blocking the stairs or the ladder. Get rid of coat hooks.
6. Teach your kids to be careful. You can do so much for the loft beds. If your kids would continue playing around, they are still keeping themselves close to danger. Inform them of the many dangers of horse-playing on loft beds. That will also make them responsible bed owners.
