2 year old in a bunk bed?

[Anonymous]

Moving my 2 and 7 year old into one room. A crib and twin bed could fit, but bunk beds would be ideal…

Am I crazy to consider bunk beds at this age? Little one would get the bottom with a rail, of course.

You have to make sure he can't climb up.

I think it's fine to move the 2-year-old to a twin bed but he probably won't be able to resist climbing up to the top bunk the second he's unsupervised. The risk of him falling out is high.

Sure. I would have a rug under with a nice thick rug pad.

I would not rely on a rug pad to prevent injury from a 6+ foot fall to the floor.

I think you stick with a twin and a crib/toddler bed for another couple of years, at least until you know the younger kid won't kill himself climbing on the furniture.

OP: right I didn’t think about the climbing aspect. I guess we wait.

2 year old is a girl btw! Not a daredevil but very active.

Um, yea. LMAO. A rug pad?! For when the 2 year old falls off the top bunk of a bunk bed?

We did the ikea kura bed and had the mattress on the floor.

Max and Lily make a low bunk bed; the top bunk is about 5 ft high.

Falling on your head from 5’ is still a very bad idea.

What about a twin bed with a trundle bed? It's a little annoying to push in/pull out every night, but it would only be until the little one can safely use a bunkbed.
