Child Safety Window Tips
Here’s a great selection of chid safety tips from Hunter Douglas.
— Use window guards on all windows above the first floor. Screens aren’t strong enough to stop the fall; they are meant to keep insects out, not to keep children in. Look for quick-release features for easy emergency exits.
— If it’s necessary to keep windows open for ventilation, install locks that limit the size of the opening.
— For sliding glass doors, apply bright stickers at a child’s eye level to alert him or her to the presence of glass.
— Be sure to keep all furniture and cribs away from windows.
