Keep cords out of sight and out of reach if you cannot install newer products, ensure that all window cords are out of sight, reach, and inaccessible to young children. Cord cleats can be used to wrap cords out of reach. You can also order a free window cord retrofit kit from www.windowcoverings.org.
In 2018 the Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA) decided on new standards for child safety to go into effect by December 15, 2018. The new window covering safety regulations state that cords on any custom-made window covering cannot be longer than 40% the height of the window covering unless the customer specifically requests a custom cord length
Child safety is of utmost importance to Wondershades.com, and all our products align with the new WCMA standards. While these new guidelines are an improvement in child safety, we strongly advise you choose a cordless or motorized lift system for your window covering if you have children or pets in the home.
Always check the Child Safety section on our product pages to determine if your product is safer for kids
If you’re shopping for kids’ bedroom curtains or shades, you may also consider choosing a blackout option to help kids sleep better. Whether your child’s room has a streetlight that shines in a bedtime, or you want the option for complete darkness during mid-day naps, blackout window treatments can make a big difference.
Nursery blackout curtains can be added on top of existing window treatments to add additional light control. If you’re replacing blinds for a kid’s room with a blackout shade, consider cordless cellular shades in a blackout fabric.
