Does this sound familiar?

Most people have heard of the dangers associated with window covering cords. Children are busy; they like to investigate and play with everything around them. Cords that dangle with lots of slack? That can be way too tempting for a child to pass up. Many parents go out of their way to hide the cords, tying them up and attaching them at the top of the window frame. It’s a hassle, it’s not 100% safe and the function of the window coverings is lost. Window coverings with cords, in a home with children, can be both dangerous and frustrating. Do you know you have options for child-safe window coverings?
