i read today, bunks aren't recommended for kids under 9, i had never read any guidelines on this subject before. I've been wondering about getting one for bilby - but loft style, (so she could sleep on the top and have a play area underneath, which would be her desk/study later on - as a space saving measure in her tiny room).

she's great at climbing in playgrounds, but maybe the age limit is to do with falling out, when asleep? Nine seems a long way away. (five and a half years). sigh.

i had always assumed, from other houses i had seen, that kids used bunks earlier than nine. Maybe it's a public liability "just in case" thing. Wanting to avoid insurance payouts from accidents?
