Two-story bed - a choice for a small child

When a second child appears in the family, the question inevitably arises of how to equip a room for children. In standard apartments, it rarely happens that the area of the children's room allows you to place sleeping places, put a wardrobe and a desk, and so that there is enough space for games.

But it is still desirable to install a children's sports complex and shelves for storing books and toys in the room. Essential to save space will help two-story bed. Modern beds can be equipped with additional drawers for storing sleeping accessories and small things or even connected with a full wardrobe. The design is completely unusual: a children's two-story bed appears as a coach, a bus, a hut or a knight's castle. Sometimes a slide is installed next to the stairs. Thus, a two-storey bed can be not only a sleeping place, but also a full-fledged playground.

Many parents worry that a child who has got a place on the second floor of the bed can fall asleep and cripple in the night in a dream. To prevent this from happening, protective skirts are installed. When buying, you need to pay special attention to their height and quality, the sides must be securely secured with screws on both sides. When children grow up, this protective structure can be removed. By the way, some modern two-story beds are made so that in time they can be disconnected and get two independent beds.

Also check the strength of the staircase and the slide, the stability and stability of the entire structure of the bed, it should not be unsteady. The stairs should be comfortable for the child and wide enough. The staircase, made up of several storage boxes, is the most stable and safe for children.

It is desirable that the two-story bed was deprived of sharp corners, and all the lines were smooth and streamlined. When the child is sitting on the lower bed, his head should not rest on the bottom of the top. Naturally, a two-storey bed should be made of environmentally friendly materials that do not provoke the development of allergies in children.

Adults need to remember that dry warm air rises, which can have a negative impact on the child sleeping on the second floor of the bed. Take care of a good air humidifier.

Sometimes between children there is a dispute about who will take what place. When the age difference is significant, the older child usually sleeps at the top, at the bottom - the younger one. But when there are ponies or twins in the family, quarrels can arise constantly. If you can not agree peacefully, drawing up a schedule can help. It should be painted or printed and hung next to the bed. Children will themselves navigate the schedule and, thus, become accustomed to discipline and order.

A two-story bed teaches children and qualities such as agility and attentiveness. They are required in order not to fall from the stairs or the second floor.
