Window safety tips from Pella  Windows:

• Keep furniture like beds or dressers away from windows. Furniture placed directly under a window can create an enticement for a child to climb and the potential to fall.
• Keep children’s play safely away from windows, doors and balconies to help prevent an accidental fall or injury.
• Remember, insect screens are designed to provide ventilation and to keep insects out, NOT to prevent falls. For added safety in children’s bedrooms, consider installing window guards or window fall prevention devices that meet American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.
• Window treatments with traditional cords can contribute to childhood injuries. For added protection, choose blinds and shades with no room-side cords like Pella Designer Series^® windows and patio doors, which feature between-the-glass blinds, shades and decorative panels. Pella^® 350 Series patio doors also offer between-the-glass window fashions with no roomside cords.
• Plant soft shrubs, like boxwood, or yews, under exterior windows that might be used as an emergency escape route to help soften a fall.
• While spring cleaning, do a “clutter sweep” and remove tripping hazardsnear exit routes from windows, doors or balconies.
• Do not allow children to jump on beds or other furniture, especially near windows.
• Talk to older children about the dangers of playing near windows.
