Ummm, about ten in our household. Brooke was still falling out of bed at about six then my nieces and nephews went through boughts of broken bones mostly caused by accidents on bunks (although I think wrestling often came into it).

Seriously though, about 6-8 and always with guards. ]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:16:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19515&PID=453082&title=what-age-for-top-bunk#453082 <![CDATA[what age for top bunk? : i actually read 6 was the recommended...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19515&PID=451019&title=what-age-for-top-bunk#451019 Author: lizzle

Hannah's in a top bunk - since a couple of months ago - with no probs.

Briona has never fallen out of bed so she would probably be ok too.]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2008 19:08:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19515&PID=451006&title=what-age-for-top-bunk#451006 <![CDATA[what age for top bunk? : Andrew moved up to his top bunk...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19515&PID=450978&title=what-age-for-top-bunk#450978 Author: mummy_becks

Andrew moved up to his top bunk just after he turned 4.

We put our daughter into a loft bed (bunk without the bottom bed) at around 2 years old. We had safety rails all around and she wouldn't get down without our help (so we got lots of exercise going up and down ) but she was fine and loved it.

I think it will probably depend on the child (desire), the bed (safety) and the parents (patience).

Hope that helps.    ]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:17:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19515&PID=450973&title=what-age-for-top-bunk#450973 <![CDATA[what age for top bunk? : Following on from fionas post...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19515&PID=450911&title=what-age-for-top-bunk#450911 Author: Bizzy

Following on from fionas post about moving to a big bed...

i was wondering what age would you let your child sleep in the top bunk?

we have bunks here but they are not made up as bunks, rather single beds. ]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2008 16:29:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19515&PID=450911&title=what-age-for-top-bunk#450911
