be an issue with showing how to book for extra beds

I want to be able to show that there is an option of a 2nd trundler bed in our apartment but it will cost an additional $30 to use.
The choices for guests to choose this are confusing:
a couple will show themselves as 2 people but only the need the 1 Queen bed and pay the standard night rate (as for 1 person)
a couple and a child will choose 3 people as they are 3 people and will use 2 beds-so standard rate for the Q bed and 1 extra @ $30
one adult and 1 child will show they are 2 people but need both beds so standard rate +and 1 extra applies

I have to say in my price setting when to start charging for the extra person. If I say after 1 person then  a couple may think they need to book as 1 +1 extra (which they shouldnt as are only using 1 bed)
If I say after 2 people then the 1 adult and 1 child scenario dont get charged for the extra bed
There seems to be nowhere to explain the difference and how people should be booking in the listing. There used to be but that choice seems to ave gone. What do others do to manage this? I have 2 friends who host who both complain about this same issue.
