The best window blinds and shades for child safety are cordless blinds. All window blinds use cords to operate the blinds, even cordless blinds, however cordless blinds and shades use hidden cords within the window blinds. Because the cords are enclosed, cordless blinds are more child friendly. Kid friendly blinds include shutters, cordless blinds, motorized blinds, or vertical blinds that have a single wand operator.

Because none of the precautions are 100% full-proof, parental supervision should be taken for child safety. Some simple steps can be taken with existing window blinds and shades. Keep the cords out of reach where small children cannot get them. Keep the cords tied up and out of reach using a cord lock. Do not put furniture next to windows especially items such as cribs, couches, chairs other items children can climb on to reach the window blinds. Replace older outdated window blinds that have cords or cords without break-thru child safety tassels with cordless window coverings.
