Pet and Child Safe
Smart Style, Safe for Little Ones
Prioritizing Safety—Because Your Family Comes First
Designed for Peace of Mind. Made for Everyday Living.
At the heart of our design philosophy is one simple truth: safety matters. That’s why our child-safe innovations are crafted to protect what matters most—without sacrificing style. Backed by thoughtful engineering and a refined aesthetic, our window treatments bring confidence and comfort to every room.
Cords from older window coverings can pose a serious risk to children and pets. Many accidents involve legacy products that don’t meet today’s safety standards. For households with young children, we strongly recommend choosing cordless or motorized options to help create a safer home environment.
Safer by Design
Peace of Mind Starts at the Window
Alta proudly offers a variety of cordless and motorized window treatment options that help support a safer home environment—especially for households with young children and pets. In line with safety recommendations from the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), replacing old corded blinds with modern, child-safe alternatives is strongly encouraged.
According to these organizations, homes with small children should use only cordless window coverings to reduce the risk of strangulation hazards associated with corded products, especially those manufactured before updated safety standards were introduced.
The Following Safety Guidelines Are Widely Supported by Industry Leaders:
- Move cribs, beds, and furniture away from windows to prevent climbing and access to cords.
- Use cordless window coverings in homes with young children.
- Inspect your current blinds or shades for exposed or dangling cords.
Free retrofit kits for older window treatments are available through the WCSC:
- Keep tassel cords as short as possible.
- Ensure continuous cord loops are anchored securely to the wall or floor.
- Confirm that cord stops are properly installed to limit internal cord movement.
- Keep all cords well out of the reach of children.
Alta’s cordless options are built with both style and safety in mind, giving families smart solutions that protect without compromise.
