High rise bed ladder by window

[Mynameisntrelevant]

Dd 9 has a high rise bed, she wants to move bed. But ladder will be right next to the window and dh worried about her falling against window and through it. I think it's fine, she won't fall and window ledge and window will be strong enough if she does. Opinions?

Well the obvious question is - is it a single pane window or double glazing?

@SchoolTripDrama sorry should have added - double glazed.

I think she'll be fine. Unless the double glazing is super old

@SchoolTripDrama nope it's about 5 years old. Thanks me too. Dh being super cautious I think. I think he's worried she'll stand on window ledge too.

I'd assess the curtains/blinds for any cords/fabric that your DD could get tangled in if she was to fall (strangulation hazard). Are safety blinds installed (if relevant)?

How likely is your DD to use the ladder with the window open? I'd be concerned about the possibility of a freak accident if she lost her footing. Could you add some sort of guard/grab rail?

@Poppins2016 normal curtains. No cords.

You could fit window safety bars or a safety grill if he’s concerned.

I personally wouldn't. I wouldn't want her potentially opening it and kind of leaning out to see or hear what she might want to wither. Wouldn't it make the room dark l if it's blocking some of the window?

*either

Depends on the kid, my dd1 would have been fine at that age, dd2 would have been out the window. Mine open out like a door though too, depends on the type of hinges on the window. If it's just a top opening smaller window for example, non issue

DD (8) has her high sleeper with the ladder next to the window. I wasn't worried but DH was so we compromised by locking the window so she can't open it. She's been in it for about 2 years now and never had an issue.

Unless you have air conditioning then I wouldn’t like it either, presumably the window is kept open when it’s hot over the summer?
