Mid rise cabin beds & safety?

[BlodynBach]

DS has seen a midrise cabin bed & wants it. We're not sure that they are safe. I looked at RoSPA website but they only discuss bunk bed (high rise) accidents. My DS is 5. can anyone share their experiences?

Assuming he has no mobility issues then most 5yo will manage a cabin bed fine. Some come with handles that can be fitted to ladders etc.

From personal experience I have not actually known any child who has had an accident on one (and only one child who had a minor accident on a bunk bed) however, even though I know a lot of children for various reasons) this is not a very scientific way to approach the question!

IMpersonalO it should be fine, the safety requirements are stringent but only you know your child!

Thanks WhyhavePets - I think adding handles to the ladeer would be a very good idea. DS is quite sensible but I was concerend he might fall off when getting out of bed at night when he is half awake.
