Protect your little ones with Child Safe Blinds & Curtains.
As a parent or caregiver, you want to ensure that your home is a safe and secure environment for your little ones. While window blinds are a great addition to any home, they can pose a serious hazard to young children. Total Blinds installs child safe blinds and curtains. Here’s what’s on offer:
Choose cordless blinds
Cordless blinds are the safest blinds for young children avoiding entanglements with hands-free motorisation or spring loaded mechanisms.
Use cord cleats
Cord cleats are small plastic or metal devices that can be attached to the wall and used to wrap up excess cord. This helps to keep the cords out of reach of children.
Get your blinds professionally installed
Secure fittings ensure your blinds operate smoothly and stay in good working order for years to come. They also ensure child safety measures are installed correctly.

The dangers of window blinds for small children
The cords and strings used to operate window blinds can pose a serious danger to young children. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), window blinds are one of the top five hidden hazards in American homes, with an estimated 17,000 children treated in emergency rooms for window blind-related injuries between 1990 and 2015. Children can easily become entangled in the cords or strings, leading to strangulation or other serious injuries.
At Total Blinds, we’re committed to making sure our blind and curtain installations can be made child safe to give your family peace of mind.
Tips on how to make your blinds & curtains safer for kids
Opt for Cordless Blinds & Curtains
Cordless blinds are the safest option for homes with young children. Instead of cords or strings, cordless blinds use a system that allows the blinds to be raised and lowered using a spring-loaded mechanism or remote control. This eliminates the risk of entanglement and makes your blinds safer for your little ones.
Use Cordless Cleats
If you already have corded blinds in your home, you can make them safer by using cord cleats. Cord cleats are small plastic or metal devices that can be attached to the wall and used to wrap up excess cord. This helps to keep the cords out of reach of children, reducing the risk of entanglement or strangulation.
Keep Furniture Away from Windows
Children are curious and love to climb on furniture, which can put them in danger if your blinds have cords. To prevent this, it is important to keep furniture away from windows, especially in rooms where young children spend time… And if you can’t, make sure that furniture is properly anchored to the wall and fully secure.
Supervise your children
No matter how many safety measures you put in place, it is important to always supervise your children around window blinds. Teach your children about the dangers of window blind cords and strings and make sure they know to stay away from them. Ask about our motorisation and smart home hands-free options for a child safe home.
