Some helpful tips from windowcoverings.org
What to Look For… Children and window cords don’t mix. When window cords are accessible to small children, these seemingly harmless products may become strangulation hazards. This is especially important with older window coverings that may not meet the latest national standard for window cord safety.
Move all cribs, beds, furniture and toys away from windows and window cords, preferably to another wall.
If at all possible, use only non-corded window coverings in homes where infants and young children are present.
