Outside of lift and motorized control options, there are many simple ways to make give your windows style without compromising safety. The Window Covering Safety Council urges parents and caregivers to check all windows for potential cord hazards and use the following guidelines to ensure your home is safe:

  • Move all cribs, beds, furniture, and toys away from windows and cords, preferably to another wall.
  • Ensure tasseled pull cords are short and continuous-loop cords are permanently anchored to the floor or wall. Keep cords out of reach of young children by installing and using cord cleats.
  • Cord stops must be properly installed and adjusted to limit the movement of inner lift cords.
  • Lock cords into position whenever horizontal blinds or shades are lowered, including when they come to rest on a window sill.
  • Replace blinds, shades, and drapes manufactured before 2001 with products that meet updated safety standards.
