Door into another bedroom doesn't count as an egress.
Ok I’m a failure as a parent and can’t even afford this house either - thanks…

That's not a legal bedroom and if there was a fire, you need a door and window so a firefighter can bust the window and get you or your child out. They cannot go through a skylight.
I mean I guess it would save a few minutes but the rooms on either side have it- it’s a small row house.

Does it have two doors? As in, one into the hall and one into another bedroom?

The other option would be to have a 5 year old in the basement 2 floors down with a door to the outside

Use that bedroom for your home office or guest room and put your child in a legal bedroom with an egress window.

This is my kid’s room. She’s only two but it’ll last her quite some time. It’s right next to ours and very cozy.

It's not a legal bedroom, but that doesn't mean people don't use them that way. It is pretty typical and I think it's fine for a kid's bedroom.

This is not a legal bedroom. You need two exits from each bedroom in case of fire. I would not be comfortable putting a child in an illegal bedroom for fire safety reasons.

Does anyone live in an interior row house with a bedroom with only skylights and no window? Thoughts on this for a kid bedroom? Is this typical in neighborhoods with thin houses such as Capitol Hill or glover park?
