Child Safe Blinds Melbourne FAQs
What makes a blind “child safe”?
A child safe blind removes or secures loose cords and chains that children can reach and play with. We focus on cordless systems, tensioned chains, motorised options and correct installation heights, all compliant with Australian Child Safety Standards for homes with kids and pets.
Which blind styles are safest for children and pets?
Cordless roller blinds, honeycomb blinds and plantation shutters are our favourite child safe options because there are no dangling cords to get caught in. We also offer motorised blinds and curtains that run by remote or app, which is a very safe and convenient choice for nurseries, playrooms and busy family spaces.
Can you make my existing blinds safer, or do I need to replace them?
If your current blinds have long, loose cords, we can often add safety devices, shorten cords or tension chains to improve safety. Where blinds are very old or poorly installed, we may recommend replacing them with modern child safe designs so you get better safety, easier use and a fresher look in one go.
Are child safe blinds more expensive than regular blinds?
Not necessarily. Many of our standard made to measure blinds are designed as child safe from the start, so you are not paying a big premium just for safety features. We walk you through good, better and best options during your free measure and quote so you can choose what suits your family and budget.
Do you offer in home advice and installation for child safe blinds in Melbourne?
Yes. Our team comes to your home or office anywhere in greater Melbourne, checks how children use each room and recommends the safest blind styles for those spaces. We handle precise measuring, compliant installation and clear instructions so you know your new blinds are both safe and easy to live with.
