If you have window blinds equipped with an operating cord or chain that can create a loop, it is crucial to ensure they are inaccessible to infants and young children. Various safety devices are available for different types of blinds.

1. Chain-Break Connector:

These connectors are designed to separate when excessive pressure is applied to the operating chain. After inspection, they can be reconnected. It is essential to use a chain-break connector compatible with your specific chain size.

2. Cord/Chain Tidies & Tensioners:

These devices should be firmly attached to an adjacent surface, positioned at the maximum distance from the top of the blind. This ensures that cords and/or chains are consistently held taut by the device.

3. Cleat:

Securely affix the cleat to an adjacent surface, ensuring it is out of reach of children and at least 1.5 meters from the floor. After each blind operation, secure the cords in a figure-of-eight shape. Ensure all spare cord is safely contained on the cleat.

It is important to be aware that loops in pull cords, chains, tapes, and inner cords can pose a strangulation risk to young children. To prevent such hazards, keep cords out of reach. Avoid tying cords or chains together, and ensure they do not twist to form a loop.

Ensure that all cords and chains are consistently secured out of the reach of infants and young children. Avoid tying cords or chains together, and verify that they remain untwisted to prevent the formation of loops.

Relocate beds, cribs, highchairs, and playpens away from cords and chains associated with window coverings.

Shift furniture away from cords and chains used in window coverings, as children are inclined to climb.
