Below is an Ikea photo of how it can be used for two mattresses to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. This is how it will be once we flip it.
We were telling Caleb that when he turns three in July we are going to flip his bed over, which he didn't really tune into because he doesn't yet know it can be used any other way. We were talking about just using the bottom part as a play area for a while until Landon is older and then they can share the bunks - at least waiting until he is two in November before thinking about putting him in a bed.
Well, about an hour later, once Landon was in his crib for the night, he started to cry in a panicked tone, so I went in to check on him, only to find him on top of the crib rail, with one leg on the outside and one on the inside of the rail, laying on his tummy clinging on for dear life. It appears as though he tried to climb out, and got stuck and scared when he was half way there. When I put him back into his crib, he laid right down on his pillow, and didn't move an inch. I think it might have really scared him based on his reaction once he was back down. Really hoping that it startled him enough to not try it again, and hoping that we will still be able to keep him in the crib for many months to come! He is our good sleeper who takes nice long naps and we do not want to lose that by having to put him into a bed any sooner than necessary!! Oh the fun...
Oh no, we hope Landon stays in his crib as long as possible! We are hoping for the same thing for Harper:) We will not move him out of his crib until he figures out how to climb out (which I know physically he can do, but he has miracously not ventured to do it in his crib). The bunk bed is very cool, as we will need bunk beds eventually for our two and their small room, the one you have is a really great idea!
