You can do this by gently wriggling the structure in various angles while applying a bit of pressure. Keep in mind that bunk beds should be used to the weight capacity specified by the manufacturer; exceeding this weight limit can cause structural damage to the ladder or frame made of wood.
Make sure the ladder is positioned away from any fixtures or objects that could cause an accident. This includes hanging light fixtures as well as curtain hardware. Also, ensure that the ladder is an appropriate distance from the wall so that children won't be enticed to climb too high and fall off the edge of the bed.

You could also place a nightlight on the ladder for assistance if you need to go to the bathroom late at night. Lastly, be sure to instruct your children not to hang items from the guardrails or ladder which could cause strangulation risk.
