Trundle or bunk beds????




LovingLife


We have 3 kids. Two girls ages 5 and a half and 3 and a son, 12 months.

Our eldest daughter and son share a bedroom, son is in a cot (crib) at the momen, but I assume by next year when he's 2 he'll need to be in a big bed.

Our bedrooms are small though so we can't fit two single beds in either of them (well, apart from the master bedroom of course). So I am thinking of putting the two girls together. I want to get either bunk beds or trundles. I am leaning more towards trundles because with bunks I'm scared the kids would try and jump off the top and hurt themselves. But some people say trundles are a silly idea and should only be used for sleepovers or whatever.

So if you had a 5 and a half year old and a 3 year old, would you put them in bunk beds or trundles?



Answer
I don't think there is anything wrong with either option. As a child I slept in a trundle bed for a time, and there was no problem with that. Bunk beds are always a fun option for kids though, and may be your better option. Each child can have their own permanent space. With the trundle, there is no room for toys/stuffed animals etc. They can make a tent on the bottom bunk, and it's fun to play on and around. Put the eldest on the top. Check out Ikea, they have really great options for kids that are both safe and a smart use of space. In small areas it's best to use as much vertical space as possible for storage, so the floor can be used for playing.

My son has been wanting this bed for awhile. Its a kids loft bed thats not very big with a tent underneath and a slide w/ladder attached to bed. Ive been looking for this all over the internet and found it on lots of sites but everyone ive come to says SORRY OUT OF STOCK!! Ive emailed every company asking when they will get more but no response. No one seems to have this product and my son would love to have it. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!


Answer
it might not be the exact brand but have you checked Ikea?

if they have one in your area, you should go look-they have some cute beds w/slides there and they are reasonably priced.

craiglist is also a great place-we got my daughter's loft bed off of our craigslist for 50 bucks.
