When it comes to taking care of your little ones, there’s a lot to keep in mind. As a parent, you’re more than likely aware of all the danger your kids can get into. This is why you’ve taken the proper steps to make sure your home is childproofed. But what about your window treatments? October is safety awareness month, so we want to emphasize the importance of child-safe features for window treatments.

The Dangers of Traditional Corded Treatments

Since 2018, the US Consumer Safety Commission has banned the sale of loose cords on window coverings. But even before that, Hunter Douglas was aware of the safety issues they posed and came up with a variety of safer window treatments.

Don’t Put Safety On the Back Burner

While it’s scary to think of, accidents happen in the blink of an eye. When it comes to your kids, their curiosity and creativity can be dangerous in the wrong environment. The dangers of your home change as your kids grow. What was once just stopping them from putting things in their mouth changed into making sure they don’t accidentally play with something dangerous.

Let’s Take a Look at the Cordless Options Out There

When picking a cordless option there are two different categories, motorized and manual. Each has its own sets of benefits but are both are full of child-safe features.

Manual operation: Adjust your blinds AND window shades up and down manually by hand.

Motorized: Easy tap adjustments & automated control

• SoftTouch allows for control with a gentle hand nudge on the wand located at the window
• Smart shades are controlled by remote, voice control, smart phone/tablet and are compatible with smart home integration
• Motorized window treatments are flawlessly adjusted with a remote control

Cord Options With Child-safe Features

• Wand alongside the window
• Securely fastened, continuous cord loops
• Retractable cord
