Ladders
It can be difficult for both kids and adults to climb up into the top bunk. While some might be enticed to climb up, this is risky for older youngsters or those who have joint issues. Ladders can be a great option to avoid this risk and provide a safe easy, comfortable and easy to climb entry point for children.
There are a variety of ladder options available for bunk beds for kids that include straight and angled versions. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed and angled ladders extend out a bit from either side.

Slides
Bunk beds with slides add a fun dimension to the bedtime routine. Kids enjoy climbing the ladder and sliding down the slide as well, but bunk beds that have slides give parents peace of mind knowing that their children are safe at night. These beds are perfect for children who have difficulty sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a great option for older kids to get into bed.

Some beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide, are perpendicular and need a little more space than other styles. However, this bed comes with the added benefit of having a built-in ladder and slide to allow easy access to the top bunk.

If you have higher ceilings, opt for a staggered bunk design like the one shown. It places the ladder at the bottom, and leaves the top bunk bed unlocked. This allows children to climb up and back down without hitting their heads.
