Older window blinds made before 2001 should be repaired or retrofitted so that they are child safe blinds. Window blinds made before 2001 could be hazardous to small children. We strongly recommend replacing all window coverings made before 2001 but if you would like to child proof you window blinds here are some basic steps:
Cordless lift shades allow you to raise and lower your blinds without cords. This upgrade is great for homes with children because there are no dangerous lift cords. Shades with a cordless lift are safer than shades with lift cords around children.

Eliminate Looping Pull Cords
This is a simple procedure. If your window blinds have multiple pull cords all tied with the same tassel, you will need to separate them to prevent strangulation. Simply untie or cut the cords just above the tassel or knob. Attach a separate knob or tassel for each of the cords so they are no longer looping. This is a great way to make your current shades child safe.Install Cord Tie-Downs
If your window blinds or shades have a continuous cord loop, use a tie down to attach the bottom of the cords to the wall. Insert the cord or chain into the tie-down device and attach the tie-down to the wall.Cordless Shades
Cordless lift shades allow you to raise and lower your blinds without cords. This upgrade is great for homes with children because there are no dangerous lift cords. Shades with a cordless lift are safer than shades with lift cords around children.
