That's what we have and the cool part is that they swing down to let them out.

Send them to the neighbors for the night and use the bunk beds for storage.

We have a three year old in one of our bunks. DW put a large pool noodle under the fitted sheet. Baby girl has not fell out and its easy for her to get out for potty trips. And yes this is the bottom bunk for her. Older brothers have the upper.

That's what I keep suggesting to DW and why there is a big dog house outback big enough to fit a man.

In a former life I was a marine engineer. In heavy seas we used to put our gear under the bunk mattress so it sloped to the wall. The ship would roll 30 degrees and you wouldn't move.

We tried one of the rails that you can use on a conventional bed but fitment isn't good. A shorter one may be good but not great dynamically. Perhaps mounting some sort of netting. I'd read on a 5th wheel forum about using the netting tailgates mades for pickups.

Ideas? Photos would be great if anyone has a solution.
We found out that after our kids rolled out of bed 3 times that they learned and stopped rolling out!
