Usually in every house where a toddler is present, parents often have a hard time in making everything childproof. It sometimes seems like it does not stop, because as soon as your child seems to be safe from one thing they are able to turn to something dangerous again. Most things in a home have to be child proof in order to protect your child from hazards.
Most window furnishing methods have proven to be quite a bit dangerous if babies get their hands on them. To create a safer environment for babies, here are some simple tips on how to child proof window furnishing.
Installing child safety devices
These devices could be fixed on existing chains and cords so that they would not be accessed by a child. Even if a certain house does not have a child living there, it is always a better idea to install these handy devices in case you are visited by a kid anytime. Cheap roller blinds in Melbourne, Venetian screens or any sort of shades could be installed with a small cleat like device to which the controls could be tied to. These devices are usually fixed about 1.5 meters off the ground so small children cannot reach them. Sometimes these shades could also be fixed with a hook like device which would keep the controls together.
Purchasing cordless designs
For anyone who is willing to spend money on child proofing windows or if you have not gotten window furnishing yet but are planning to, cordless designs are a very good choice. If you are choosing cheap vertical blinds in Melbourne or shutters especially for a toddler’s room, you must make sure they are free from cords or chains or anything hazardous as that. Cordless models come with either buttons or other less dangerous methods of using them.
More modern forms of cordless designs enable an adult to use either a mobile phone or evens a thumb tab thereby erasing all needs for chains or cords. Motorized roller screens are a good option in a child’s room as they could be easily operated using a remote controller.
Making hazards non accessible
Hazards, as in cords that could possibly strangle a baby if they start messing around with them or anything lethal should not be accessible to toddlers. If anyone is unable to go ahead with any of the earlier methods, tying up cords and chains around the house is a start. They should be tied and placed somewhere high where a baby could not reach even if they stand on a chair to look out the window. Any dangling loops from things like window drapes should also be removed to make it safer.
