Cordless Blinds & Shades

Child Proof Blinds

Blindsmax offers the best child safe blinds and window treatment options available. Choose from cordless easy-lift, remote control cordless blinds, and wand controlled cordless. There are no true "child proof blinds", but making safer choices in the operating style of your blinds can make your home safer and much less risky for young children and pets.

In addition to child safe blind operation you should also keep these safety guidelines in mind:

• Keep cords and chains far out of reach of children, this includes the operating cords running in-between the slats which young children can pull out.
• Never tie, loop, or knot window blind cords together, no cords at all is best.
• Make sure window blinds and window shades are properly and securely installed.
• Do not allow young children or pets to play with or chew on window treatments.
• Move furniture and toys that children could climb up on, away from windows.
• Do not place cribs, playpens, or children's beds near windows where they can easily reach and pull on window treatments.
• Check with your child's caregiver to ensure their window coverings are child safe.

Having Child Safe Blinds Is Not As Simple As Buying A Retrofit Kit

If you have older blinds and shades you need to strongly consider their replacement, the window covering safety council strongly urges parents, grandparents, and caregivers to use only completely cordless window treatments in homes where young children and pets are present. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, window coverings with cords are among the top five hidden dangers in homes and daycares. A window covering is safest for children when there are no accessible cords on the front or back of the window covering.

You Could Save A Precious Life By Choosing Cordless Blinds

The simple and terrible truth is... cords kill kids. It is not a pleasant subject, but every year hundreds of young children are killed or seriously injured by getting tangled in window cords when parents and caregivers thought they were perfectly safe in a playpen, crib, or playroom. The dangers are the same for pets, and let's face it, they are also loved and precious members of the family. The team members at Blindsmax want to make it a point to strongly encourage you to replace all corded blinds with cordless blinds in areas where children or pets sleep and play, even if you do not choose to shop blinds with us.
