It is essential to ensure that the ladders you are using are safe and sturdy, teach children how to climb them safely, and emphasize the fact that the top bunk shouldn't be used for play. Install a light clip on the ladder to ensure that it is visible at night.

If the bed is placed too close, it can cause entrapment and severe injury. To minimise this danger, a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5 inches away from the wall.
Do not hang anything from the railings on the top bunk. Scarves, belts and similar items can cause strangulation if a child is they are caught. This is a particular issue when children are asleep and can happen in the blink of an eye, which is why it's best to keep these items out of reach.
