Improving Child Safety in Your Home with Somfy

If you're a new parent, there are a lot of safety measures you should consider when it comes to your home. Keeping a baby safe can seem like a daunting task, particularly around blind cords.

Traditional blinds can be a danger to curious toddlers and babies, and even if they're tucked out of the way, your mind still won't be completely at ease. Investing in motorised window furnishings can eliminate the need for blind cords entirely, helping you feel better and keeping your baby safe.

The Risks

Unfortunately the majority of blind cord injuries and deaths in babies come from strangulation. Children can easily become entangled in the cords of window furnishings. Kidsafe Australia aims to educate parents that it only takes a split second for a serious injury to occur. 

Sadly, a lot of strangulation injuries can happen silently and turn fatal in just seconds, so it's impractical to assume that constant supervision is enough to prevent these injuries.

Tying the Cords Up Isn't Always a Solution

Tying the cords of your blinds and windows may seem like a safe and easy solution, but this isn't always the case. There have been incidences where children get caught up in the loops that their parents have tied to keep the cords out of the way. To ensure complete safety with babies and the cords of blinds, it's always best to eliminate them completely.

Motorised Window Furnishings as a Solution

With Somfy, blinds, curtains, and more are available as motorised solutions that don't require cords to control them. If you're living in a home with small children, investing in motorised window furnishings is a valuable payment that will result in peace of mind and improved safety of your children.
