Child Safety Month: Window Treatments and Safety

Last updated on October 15, 2022 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

As a parent, you always have a million things on your mind when it comes to your kids. Keeping up with active children and making sure they’re safe around the house can be a challenge, and window treatments are a potential safety hazard that may not be on your radar.
From seeing dangling cords, tiebacks, or tassels as something to play with to climbing on an accent chair under a window, it is important to know if your window treatments are safe for your children.
Here are a few easy tips for creating a safer home:
  • Removing climbable items from all window areas is one of the simplest & most effective ways to avoid window-related hazards. Move all furniture, cribs, beds & climbable surfaces (stuffed animals & toy chests) away from windows.
  • Store window cords well out of reach of children, keeping in mind that there might be cords also on the reverse side of your shades.
  • Install only cordless window treatments in homes with young children, especially in their bedroom & play area.
  • Make sure tasseled pull cords are as short & tight as possible.
  • Update old window coverings to safer styles such as shutters, motorized styles or cordless cellular shades.
  • Add safety features to existing cords such as installing the cleats (the piece attached to the wall that you wrap the cord around) out of reach of children.

In case you need some help or are just curious, Country Willow has an exceptional showroom full of Hunter Douglas products – one of the largest showrooms in the area – that fully demonstrates all the safety features you need to keep your family safe.
