Are Your Windows Safe?

Windows are 1 of the top 5 home hazards for kids, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Here’s how to make your windows child-safe:

Cut off or tie up dangling cords on drapes and blinds.
Mark sliding doors and expanses of glass with stickers.
Make sure windows have locks so that they can be opened to allow air in but not so that a child could fall out.
Never depend on screens to prevent a child from falling out of a window.
Don’t put furniture that a child could climb on near windows.
Keep windows closed and locked when you're not using them.
