Dr. Deanna Soloway-Simon, medical director of pediatric emergency at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Fla., is of the opinion that kids below 6 shouldn’t be put in bunk beds. Her opinion doesn’t surprise us as in the United States alone, more than 36,000 injuries from bunk bed accidents are reported every year.
“Unless you are watching your kids every minute, they can climb up on the bunk bed and, in a matter of seconds, fall,” she said. “Younger kids think they can fly. They put on a Superman cape and jump. If the cape gets caught on a rail, it could be deadly. They could hang themselves.”
