If your home is like most homeowners you have window treatments and window blinds to add to the beauty of your interiors while also providing safety and lighting control. What most homeowners don’t realize is that their corded blinds can be a hazard to busy young children and pets. In my home my cat, Snow once got tangled in our circa 1987 window blind cord and we were terrified that she was going to strangle herself trying to get free. Luckily she was fine.

#GoCordless Movement: Essential Kids’ Window Blinds Safety

I’m happy to pair with SelectBlinds.com to help you understand why your home and your loved ones can benefit from cordless blinds.

Do you ever wonder how your toddler was able to get on top of the counter without you seeing them? Or has Fluffy jumped on top of a high cabinet near a window that you weren’t aware she could reach? Everyday babies, toddlers, and pets get entangled in blind cords without an adult realizing it, until it’s too late. This simple diagram below can help you understand the dangers and how cordless blinds can save lives.

The Go Cordless movement helps bring awareness about corded window blinds and treatments to urge consumers to install cordless blinds to keep homes safe.

The Go Cordless Movement brings light to cordless blinds

“Cordless window coverings are the safest for children and pets. On average, 20+ children per year are involved in a corded window covering accident. On March 31, 2016, SelectBlinds.com became the first custom window covering company to go 100% cordless. We are teaming up with Parents for Window Blind Safety to educate and empower. Lose the cord, spread the word, and help us change the industry, one window at a time!” … SelectBlinds.com
