At what age do you usually move a younger child to the bottom bunk? I'm thinking about my two-year-old, isn't that a bit too early?
Are they kicking their way out, or did they just settle in? Are you getting everything out and doing…

That's normal, when the daughter was just 2 years old and lay low, and the son was 4 years old and lay high.

Efremova Evgeniya Did you put anything soft under the crib just in case of a fall? Or has it never fallen? 🤔

Efremova Evgeniya I didn't fall, there was a decent railing. I was more worried about my son

Efremova Evgeniya Could you please share a photo of your crib? From the internet. I want to see the bumper. 😊

At three years old, my youngest slept on the bottom bunk. Sometimes he'd fall off despite the guardrail. I used to leave his blanket on the floor for a while.

At a year and two months old, my son moved to the bottom bunk away from me. The side rail there was low. My daughter slept in a big bed from the age of one, but it had a high side rail.

We have one like this, but we assembled the stairs on the right. Basically, the bottom tier isn't very open. I put a bolster pillow to cover that gap. She only sleeps during the day for now, but she tosses and turns a lot, and hasn't fallen yet.

Elena Thanks. I'm wondering which bumper is safer.

Elena I was looking for a bed like this for a long time, where the lower bunk is more or less enclosed. I finally found one on Wildberries.

anastasiya So my husband and I are looking at cribs. The bumpers are the tricky part...

Why bunk beds? Have you considered pull-out beds?

Olga No. Otherwise, they'll distract each other.

At 2.8 years old, after the summer. Before that, my son slept in our room, and he slept separately. This summer, everyone slept in the same room at the dacha, and in the fall, my daughter moved in with her brother.

Specifically a bunk bed from 3 years old, and before that from 1.5 years old on a regular bed with a small guardrail

Ours can even pee herself and loves to crawl over to me at night. She's 2.6. It's probably time, but I still feel sorry for her (( She never fell out of bed without sides at night

My daughter has been sleeping on her own since she was about 2.4 years old. As soon as she started kindergarten, we moved her to her own room. We have an IKEA metal bed. For the first few years, it had a fold-down guardrail that I bought separately on Avito.

Efremova Evgeniya It looked like this, but it also had a rim at the bottom

I wanted one like that, but changed my mind. It gets stuffy upstairs, and it's really inconvenient when the baby is sick.

anastasiya Get one with a higher railing, it'll be fine. But keep in mind that your little one will also be curious about the top bunk... so we removed the ladder. I couldn't constantly be near that bed... Anyway, my daughter slept in a big regular bed with a railing at a year old, a 90x200 one with a high side and an opening at the foot for getting in and out. Then our son was born, he was a year old, and we bought a bunk bed. My daughter slept on the top bunk, she was 4 at the time, and my son was 1 year and 2 months old and slept on the bottom bunk. We quickly had to remove the ladder. Otherwise, our son couldn't live peacefully, he just had to climb up. The ladder was a separate piece that attached to the bed. We probably put it back when our son was about three. Even then, I reminded them every day that they couldn't go up together because they always got rowdy, and it was dangerous to do that up there. They'd stand on their feet on the top bunk (it was about 120cm high). It also had a low railing. If I were buying a bunk bed now, I'd get one where the bed itself is higher, but with higher railings.
