Kids Furniture


Kids Furniture is rapidly becoming one of the most sought after types of furnishings being bought today. With two parent incomes, and lowering number of per family children; there is extra money left in the budget for this expenditure. In the past, kids usually grew out of children's bedroom furniture too quickly to warrant spending money on it throughout each stage of life. When babies' grew out of cribs, they were given single beds which they kept until they became adults, but the future of furniture has changed. There are 3-in-1 bedroom sets, whereby a crib, once no longer needed, can convert to a toddler bed, which can then convert to a single, full or queen-size bed. These types of ingenious styles allow a parent to purchase one item that can be used throughout a child's life. These unique purchases, however, come with a hefty price tag, so the investment in 3-in-1 set should be thoroughly researched before a purchase is made.


Experts recommend against the purchase of bunk beds for children under 6 years of age. Top bunks should have guardrails to keep a child from rolling off the bed while they sleep. The guardrails should extend at least 5 inches above the mattress. The mattress should fit snug on the board or springs. In addition to all these standards for bunk beds, the ladder could be the most important of all. Parents should be certain that bunk beds have a sturdy ladder that prohibits falling accidents. As an additional safety precaution on children's bedroom furniture in the form of a bunk bed is to never allow more than one child at a time onto the top bunk. Kids like to horseplay, it would not be uncommon to have one child accidentally fall off of the top bunk. In addition to the dangers a bunk bed holds, parents should never place a child's bed near windows where they can climb onto and fall out. Children's bedroom furniture should certainly be inspected carefully by the parent before a purchase is made.
