The gap between guardrails shouldn't be greater than 3 1/2 inches to prevent the risk of suffocation. This will also ensure that your child cannot fall under the guardrail when sleeping. The mattress at the bottom must be supported by wires or slats that run directly underneath the bunk. They must also be secured on both sides. This will stop your child from falling through the gap.
