As a mother to two young children their safety is my biggest concern. The house has been child-proofed the best I can do yet I constantly worry about for their safety.
I mean you read horror stories in the news all the time don’t you? You do your best to keep your children safe yet in the home is where the most accidents actually happen.
I’ve recently been chatting to a company on Twitter who have asked if I could share with you the latest safety guidelines for window blinds – I am sharing this with you as it could help to save lives of young children and babies – if it helps to save only one live then it has worked as each year far too many deaths are caused in homes due to blind cords.
Please read the below information and take note, implement and help save lives!
I have a ‘Lock Away’ cord safety device on Harry’s bedroom blind however I hadn’t gotten around to fitting one onto Emmy’s blind, since receiving this infographic I have ordered one for Emmy’s room too.

I'm always worrying about F's safety, so good to remember these important safety tips can save lives x
Thanks for sharing. We recently had a new bedroom blind installed and, although it did come with a child safety device, there was no information about why it's so important to keep blind cords out of reach of children.
This is such a helpful post we never think of these things and lots of us have dangling cords from blinds.
Need to get a tension device for ours…….blinds scare me, especially with babies
Thanks for sharing. I'm going to share it on Facebook for all my friends and family to be ade aware of the dangers.
My friend has been banging on for ages about the dangers of blinds, and I'm glad she has. These statistics are shocking. We have a safety blind in Austin's room – this reminds me we need one for Gwen, too.
A vital piece for any parent, this should be printed and circulated with all blinds xx
