To feel worried about child in midsleeper?

[morethanmeetstheeye]

I'm prepared to be slightly flames here but please hear me out

DS is 8 and has a midsleeper
DD is 4 and has recently taken to trotting through in the middle of the night and climbing into bed with her brother.

Kind of sweet but it make me worried as she's not really awake when she does it and as they're not meant for children under 6, the safety aspect concerns me.

My brother broke his leg falling out of a midsleeper so I'm quite careful with them. DD knows not to go up there doting the day and she really doesn't ever try.

Clearly we're past the baby gate stage and there's no way of stopping her. Am I being daft to feel a bit worried? It's if she needs the toilet in the night and wakes up slightly disorientated in a high bed that she's not really used to that concerns me.

If you are concerned and don’t wake up to her opening her door etc you could put a wind chime next to her door so it would wake you. Probably best as she is disturbing his sleep.

My daughter has a mid sleeper. She’s had it around a year and she’s still 5. She’s careful and she’s used to it. Your worries depend on how careful your daughter is, IMO.

My DD got a midsleeper at 4 or 5 (now 6) and has been fine. The sides are quite high though so not much chance of falling out.

DD has had one since since 3 an

Oops, meant DD has had one since just 4 and - even though I'm super-anxious about most things - has been fine. She gets up most nights and can get in and out, but it has steps rather than a simple ladder.

DP fell out of one when much older, so I think as long as she's practised it will be OK.

My sons 3 1/2 and in a mid sleeper, my daughters 5 1/2 and still in hers - has been since shes been 3. Never had an issue and both my kids love them

Thank you for all the really helpful replies. She's not a particularly careful child - kind of goes at life like a whirlwind!

I think the windchime idea is fantastic!! They could really help as I know she's not safe on the midsleeper yet. Gettting up is ok but she finds the ladder tricky.
