Safest Shades for Children
The number one safety concern around most window shades involves the risk of a child becoming entangled in hanging or loose cords o trying to swallow the line. Ergo, one of the easiest steps to child-proofing window treatments is to remove those cords. No loose lines means no risk for strangulation or choking. The safest shades for children can operate cord-free by either design or through the upgrade to a cordless operating system.
Cordless Window Treatments
Interior shutters are one style of window treatment that does not use any kind of cord or line. They are by design cord-free instead using a front, back, or hidden tilt bar to adjust their louvers. Shutters can be crafted from a variety of materials including wood, metal, and the latest advanced faux-wood composites.

Cordless Operating Systems
For soft shades that normally use a corded system for operation upgrading to motorized or cord-free systems can transform regular shades into the safest shades for children.
- PowerView® Automation: A superbly easy to control motorized system that replaces shade control via cord with control through a hand-held remote, wall panel, online app, or integration into smart home systems. Available on select styles of Hunter Douglas roller shades, Roman shades, honeycomb shades, woven wood shades, screen shades, sheer shadings, drapery, banded shades, shutters, vertical treatments, and blinds.
- LiteRise®: A proprietary design that allows homeowners to open or close their shades simply by pushing up on the bottom rail to raise and pulling down to lower. Available on select styles of Hunter Douglas roller shades, Roman shades, honeycomb shades, woven wood shades, screen shades, sheer shadings, and blinds.
Other Child-Friendly Features
Beyond safety, there are several child-friendly features to consider when looking for new blinds for a family household. Kids can be tough on items, so the best child friendly window treatments have features to stand up to the rigorous demands of childhood.
Kid-Worthy Durability
Kids will push almost everything to its limit including window treatments, and those made of materials that aren’t up to the challenge of vigorous use can tear, deteriorate, and breakdown far too soon. Investing in treatments designed to be durable will pay off in kid-friendly households or anywhere with heavy or high-traffic use.
- NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters: Enhanced wood composite material for the ultra-durable NewStyle Hybrid Shutters has been co-extruded with a polypropylene coating to increase the strength of the shutter for long lasting performance even under heavy use. These shutters are also custom manufactured with Truemill® dovetail construction, one of the best, most durable methods on the market, which we also use in our premium hardwood shutters.
Easy-To-Clean Styles
There’s enough cleaning already involved when it comes to children, so choosing easy-to-clean window treatments is a no brainer. Three types of window shades that are billed as the easiest to clean and keep clean include shutters, blinds, and roller shades. And all three of these styles have models that are cord-free to make some of the safest shades for children that are also easy to maintain.
