I have a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, and I was concerned about my 2-year-old climbing up to be with the 5-year-old. Fortunately, the bottom ladder rung is too high for him to climb on, and it's just perfect for my 5-year-old. This eased a lot of my fears, and the top bunk guard rails are just high enough over the mattress where my 5-year-old is secure and unable to fall off in the middle of the night.
Solid great bed
