Every year, approximately 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, most of these injuries aren't serious. Younger children are at the most risk of injuries because they don't have a full-blown sense of space. They are also more likely to jump on or off the upper bunk and to use their beds for play. This is one reason that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents not allow children under six years old to sleep on the top bunk.

A few simple rules can help parents ensure that their children's bunk beds are secure. For instance ladders should be put on the outside of the bunk and not inside. Additionally, the rails must be at least five inches higher than the mattress and the opening for climbing into and out of bed should not be wider than fifteen inches. Additionally the beds should not be set in close proximity to windows or behind clutter that could fall onto children as they sleep.
