Child Safety Wands on Vertical Blinds

Every year, we hear of children and pets who get tangled in the cords and chains dangling from blinds. These losses are tragic, and in most cases, preventable. To make window binds safer for consumers with young children and pets, window manufacturers offers alternatives to the traditional cords and chains for most blinds, including vertical blinds.

The child safety wand is the most common and popular alternative to cords and chains. The wand is essentially a "stick" about 2 feet long that attaches to the top of the vertical blinds and allows the user to pull the vertical blinds closed or open. The wand is easy to use since the vertical blinds glide along the track. By rotating the wand, you tilt the vanes in either direction. As for how a wand looks dangling from the top of your vertical blinds, don't worry, you won't notice it. The child safety wand is usually made from clear plastic and, unlike many cords and chains, the wand "hides" behind or blends in with the vertical blinds.

Even if you don't have children or pets to worry about, the wand is a practical and modern choice. By choosing the wand for your vertical blinds, you avoid having unsightly cords and chains dangling or pooling on the ground. And there's no more confusion over which cord opens/closes the blinds and which one tilts the vanes the wand does both. Practicality and aesthetics aside, the child safety wand makes your vertical blinds safe, allowing everyone to enjoy the beauty and comfort of your room, without the worry or risk of injury.
