Hahaha... No, this thread isn't making me feel judged or anything :/
It's okay, I feel confident in my decision. I think it's kid dependent. I have a few friends who I would not even consider their kids in this so maybe it's just because Laney isn't a daredevil and follows directions pretty well with this kind of stuff.
I completely agree that it's a kid dependent decision. No one knows your child like you do. I'm "breezy" about C sprinting down busy city sidewalks because I know he'll stop at the intersection, and I never worried about cutting food for him because I knew he bites and chews carefully and isn't a gagger/choker. On the other hand, I couldn't put him in this bed right now because he would jump off of it without hesitation, likely after piling his pillows and stuffed animals as a higher launching pad, or try to do a flip off the edge after seeing an older kid do it.
Ya this is Brady. The kids I used to nanny for had bunk beds and the 6 year old was always so crazy and then Brady learned he could climb up and they would all be up there I had to stand right next to it the whole time to make sure he wouldn't copy Sam and jump down

Without the slide probably around 3. With the slide, never? My kid would literally go up and down all.night.longgggg. He is such a pita at the playground.
I like it! Both my kids would be fine in it, I think. They slept on a similar bunk bed while on vacation. I'm also (probably too) relaxed about a lot of stuff. ladybug don't feel judged. Some kids are daredevils and rough & tumble, and others are rule-followers.
We absolutely don't have room for this, at all. But it's very cool
I'm totally not used to being one of the breezy ones about pretty much anything. But ladybug, I think D must be a rule follower like G is, which is why I'd consider putting G in that bed now. I on the other hand fell out of the top bunk at summer camp MOTN at age 12 or 13. I wasn't hurt and didn't even remember in the morning but from then on I always choose the bottom bunk. Apparently I can't be trusted in a top bunk.
