What age is a child ready to be on a top bunk?

Question

If you have bunk beds for your children, what do you think is the best age for putting a child on the top?
I know this kind of varies by the physical capability of the child but I’m trying to think of a sort of general age range?

Answer

Recommended age is approx 6, child needs to be able to climb up and down stairs and capable of doing it half asleep in the dark to be able to use toilet in night

Answer

Totally depends on the kid. We have two “low” bunk beds where the bottom bunk has no legs and is literally on the ground, so they are very short, and my 5 year old and 6 year old have the top bunks. My 6 year old was 4 when we bought the first one, but she has always been very coordinated and limber, so I never worried about her. However, I would not have been comfortable with her being on a normal-sized bunk bed at that age.

Answer

That's going to depend on your kid. My oldest is 5 and no way I'd trust her on the top bunk. She's freaking crazy and would end up breaking her damn neck doing whatever weird shit she does. I keep telling my husband she's the one we're saving up for medical bills. I just know it. Thrill seeker to the max. 200 times worse than my 1 1/2 yr old boy.

Answer

Our bunk bed manual says age 6 and up

Answer

My son is 6 and up on top. We have the stairs and he is able to get up and down in the middle of the night to pee. We also have a bar on the side.

Answer

I would say 6-8 depending on the child.

Answer

My daughter is 4 and has a bunk bed at her grandmas she’s not a dare devil so she goes up there and sits still. It’s really based on your child. She is the kid who screams stop running or you’ll hurt yourself at the park at random kids. I have no worries about her😂. Do you think they are able to handle it?

Answer

My daughter just turned five a couple weeks ago and she's on the top bunk
