Window Treatment Options for Child Safety

If you are a parent, one of your top concerns to make a home purchase should be child safety.

Here are some statistics about window coverings in the U.S. for how they are installed.

Did You Know?

• 60% of the window covering incidents contain cord systems typically used in horizontal-type blinds
• 40% have continuous loop systems typical to vertical blinds and draperies

This is a list of prevention tips to protect your children from unsafe window coverings:

• Keep a safe distance between cribs, beds, and climbable surfaces from your windows.
• Tie or place window cords out of children’s reach.
• Assure that all cord stops are properly installed and adjusted to limit inner-cord movement.
• Install cordless or motorized, child safe window treatments.
