The following are tips from the experts at Hunter Douglas Window Fashions on how to make your home - and particulary your windows - safer for children:
- 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 eyes level to alert him or her to the presence of glass.
- Be sure to keep all furniture and cribs away from windows.
