Would it be safe for small children to sleep on the full size bed.

Yes- the mattress holds the bed down. My two grandchildren (ages 6 & 4) sleep on it with no problems

Your answer depends on the children, when the bed is down it is as secure as any bed and the hardware is stable and secure. I would not suggest jumping up and down on as children have a tendency to do. I slept in a bunk bed as a child and my parents had strict rules. I'm very happy with the one I built, follow the instructions and you should have no problems.

I would not. It is not that the bed is incapable of holding them; it is just that I would rather error on the side of caution. There is a lot of potential energy stored in the closing mechanism and there is stuff that little fingers can get caught in. The odds of anything bad happening are pretty small, but it could happen. There is also the question of how well the bed was put together.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be safe. Once the bed is is in the down position, it will stay there. When you lift the mattress platform up to put it away you have to lift it up four or five feet before the pneumatic cylinders take over and pull it the rest of the way. This is a wonderful, sturdy mechanism that is easy to use. I love my murphy bed!

It depends on the age of the child. I wouldn't want my two year old in the bed in case he rolled between the mattress and the side of the cabinet. I wouldn't hesitate to put my five year old in the bed.

I don't know yet we haven't had time to put it together yet.But am sure you could put weight on the end of the bed to counter balance this.but this question would be best answer from manufacture.Or have children sleep in reverse at the foot of the bed as counter weight .But ask manufacture.

I would not. They deflate pretty easily. For example, any night my 3-year-old son ended up resting his head over it, it was completely flat by the morning.It worked great to train him to not fall off the bed. But I wouldn't use it on my 6-month-old baby or anyone larger than maybe 40lbs. Maybe a foam roll or memory foam body pillow that you can tuck under the sheets? That's what we use when visiting at my parents' house. I hope this helps.

I have only used this bed for a child old enough to be in a toddler bed. For younger kids, I recommend a pac n' play. They are made with a firmer mattress that are okay for small babies to sleep on. I would worry about a really small baby getting his face up against the bumper and not being able to breath well.

Absolutely. In fact my daughter would sleep on my wife's chest sometimes at night & if it came lose off her diaper while between them it would go off so it knew something was wrong. I've read parents with cosleeping twins used it just fine too.

It's slightly smaller than a full sized bed. 2. People have slept on it before but not recommended.

I bought this bed for my grand daughter who was 2.5 years old at the time. She had just gone into a "big girl bed" at home. The only spare bed I have in my home is queen size and we felt with the height of the bed off the floor and the inability to use rails, the The Shrunks bed would be the perfect solution. It proved an excellent choice. My other grand daughter who is 5 (she is small for her age) uses the bed when she sleeps over, too.

I believe it's safe for every night use. We kept our son in a crib until he was almost 4 years old for safety reasons, he was a crazy active sleeper. It's been about a year, he's almost 5 & has not fallen out of bed, yet. I do check on him before I go to bed & often move him back up to his pillows because he finds his way to the only unsafe spot without bumpers, the foot of the bed. We had a typical bed rail on our 3 year old daughter's bed & I ended up switching that out with these foam bumpers because they were working well with our boy, changing sheets are SO much easier, & they look better than the clunky bed rail.

Absolutely not. It's meant for a twin size mattress. It would be very dangerous for a toddler mattress. The child could get hurt.

I don't recommend it, there would be a space that could cause harm to a child, but if you cover the space with a piece of plywood the length of the bed it would work�

There is enough room but the small child would probably not be able to reach the foot rest area. Putting the small child in the front would be best, but feet would still not reach.

I believe so because this bed takes a twin mattress. We have had this bed for almost a year and it supports my 4 year old and myself(130ish lbs) just fine every night when I lay with her to read. I have recently had to tighten up the bolts as my daughter jumps and wiggles a lot. This has been a great and sturdy bed! All the supporting slats are still perfect. Would by again

I would think so, as it is fine for Boston. Have a care that it is the right size for the bed - I always worry about young children's sleeping habits.

I think it depends on how they sleep. My 2 year old slept in one a similar size when visiting family many times over the summer and did just fine. I have a 6 month old in it and there is plenty of room to grow.

i have a full sized bed and it takes up more than half...so if u sleep alone it should be fine since its flexible and u can move it around in different ways but it will probably be like a barrier around your entire bed lol..it could be fun lol

My parents have used it for both girls and had no issues. If the crib were to collapse while a child was in it, it would be recalled.

I would say yes if the two adults could sleep comfortably on a double / full size mattress at home. Two kids up top, no problem.
