Are your blinds child safe?Many think of privacy, style and comfort when selecting window coverings for the home, however, if you have young children or pets, then child safety should be another important consideration.
All Designed Blinds Australia window coverings are compliant with the latest Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety Standard - Corded Internal Window Coverings) Amendment Regulations 2010 (No. 1) and are designed with child safety in top of mind.
We suggest you adopt these simple tips to ensure the well-being and safety of your children and pets:
1. Check for loose or looped cords that your child can reach from the floor or by climbing on furniture.
2. Secure any loose cords out of reach.
3. Choose safe curtains and blinds. Please click here to download the Designed Blinds Australia Product Safety Checklist.
4. Move anything a young child can sit in, stand in or climb on away from windows that have cords / chains.
When purchasing a blind, consider installing one of the Designed Blinds Australia MOVE Motorisation options which eliminate the presence of manually operated cords and chains.
