A good ladder should have wide steps to make it easy for children's feet to walk on, as well as a handrail to help them hold the bars. It should be placed so that your child can reach it safely from their bed.

The ladder should be simple to use for kids when they wake up at night to go to the bathroom or drink water. This is crucial because they'll be asleep and more skilled than when they're awake. The ladder should not be placed near a ceiling fan, as it could cause the ladder to fall or become caught in the blades.

Parents should choose bunk beds that meet the safety standards. The top bunk, for example should have guardrails that are at least 5 inches high and firmly connected to its frame. Rough playing and jumping on the bunk must be avoided as it could weaken the mattress's foundation and lead to collapse. It's a good idea to place the bunk in a nook, as this will reduce the number of sides that children could fall off.

It's also important to make sure the right size mattress is suitable for the frame of the bunk. This will prevent children from falling or slipping out of bed, which is a common reason for injuries to bunks. It's a good idea to encourage children to review bunk bed rules on a regular basis especially when they're staying with friends at a sleepover.
