Child safety is a top priority for any parent. When you are planning to purchase window coverings for your home, the safety of your family should play a major role in your decision making process. If you make your purchase based solely on price considerations, you may end up with window coverings that are dangerous to the safety of your children and pets. For this reason, when purchasing window coverings it is important to take a closer look at exactly what you are buying to ensure that it offers the latest child safety features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Window Coverings Should a Parent Avoid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many window coverings, like standard blinds and shades, function through the use of dangerous strings and cords that dangle from the top of the window casing. These hanging strings may look inviting to a curious child or pet. Parents should be aware that it is possible for children to become entangled in window covering cords. Therefore, to reduce the risk of accidents, all cords should be kept out of the reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
