Childproofing Blinds?

[Deleted]

What have you all done to childproof horizontal blinds?

We use a mini rope cleat at the top to tie to the string

We tuck the string on the window ledge where it would lift up.

Shorten the string so when the blinds are down the string is like an inch long. When we open the blinds we tuck the string in the valance.

I drape the strings up over the top so he can't reach them. They're split per new regulations anyway, but they do have a tendency to get twisted and form a loop. This is why we always try and remember to toss them over the top of the frame so he can't mess with them.

The ILs next door neighbor lost a granddaughter during Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago because she became tangled in the cords.

We got cord wraps from Amazon, screwed in up high.

Cord cleats

We use clothes pegs to pin the strings up onto the valence. Most of our blinds are the cordless kind now, but the small windows on the side of our one big window couldn't come that way.
