Ladders are a great solution to avoid this risk and offer a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for kids.
There are a variety of ladder options for kids bunk beds, including straight and inclined ladders. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed while an angled ladder extends slightly from the bed's side.

They also come in different colors and styles so you can pick one that is in keeping with the design of your space or matches your bunk's color scheme.
