Child safety information

Child Safety

We all know that our children are relentless explorers. They are always on the lookout for exciting adventures and new senses to discover - even in their own home.

But such innocent curiosity can sometimes be dangerous - and even fatal. Young children can be strangled quickly and quietly by looped cords with carers unaware of what is happening.

Lex Blinds is a proud supporter of the “Make it Safe” campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the potential dangers of looped cords among families with small children.

We ensure that all our curtains and blinds meet the European Standard (BS EN 13120), which strengthens the child safety elements. It is our job to ensure that the childhood of the little people in your house is safe and happy.

Our clients also get an additional child safety device - a “Safe Child” chain holder clip, which can be used with all our manufactured products with chains.

The chain holder is attached to the window frame or the adjacent wall, this way making sure your little one can’t get tangled up. It’s an exceptionally safe and reliable way to protect your children from the risk loose blind cords pose.

The chain holder is also an aesthetically pleasing device, guaranteed to match any window.

Watch on

There are lots of cordless blinds and other kinds of window dressings that are safe for homes with young children:
