Best Child-Friendly Shades

Preparing for a new baby is as exciting as it is daunting. Imagining your baby growing up and walking down the stairs to school is heartwarming, but those stairs need to be blocked off until they get their coordination. Bath time will surely bring fun memories, but the toilet and cabinets must be child-proofed. Decorating the nursery is thrilling, but are those shades safe? This last question is especially popular, as many shades feature hazardous dangling cords. Does this mean you must ditch shades until your baby is old enough to know not to chew or play with them? Of course not. Hunter Douglas offers several child-friendly shades with operating systems that let you enjoy the shade, privacy, filtered light, and peace of mind.

What Makes a Shade Child Friendly?

It should be noted that shade isn’t inherently dangerous to children. Whether you choose cellular shades, roller shades, Roman shades, or sheer shades, many window treatments are safe around children. Where are you run into problems with those dangling cords that let you operate those window treatments? To mediate this, Hunter Douglas has created a collection of operating systems that can allow you to go completely cordless.

Shades You Schedule

If you want to cut out cords altogether and desire absolute convenience, then your wish is our demand. Hunter Douglas has an innovative system called PowerView automation that allows you to schedule ahead or operate your shades in real-time via the PowerView® App on your phone or tablet, the Pebble® Remote Control, or even your voice when synched up to Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and more. You can also schedule your shades to open, close, and adjust throughout the day without you lifting a finger.

Shades You Push Up

Many Hunter Douglas shades are compatible with the LiteRise® system. This allows you to achieve light, shade, or sun by pulling down or pushing up your shades. Eliminating cords, this system is perfectly safe for nurseries and throughout your home. And since the LiteRise® system is compatible with various Hunter Douglas shades and blinds, you can choose the perfect aesthetic for your little one’s room and your house. After all, safety doesn’t have to mean settling in design!

Shades You Operate with a Wand

If you prefer something that you can grip when it comes to opening, closing, or adjusting your window treatments, we recommend the UltraGlide® system when searching for the best child-friendly shades. This ergonomic, retractable wand always stays at a constant length, so your little one cannot reach it. Simply pull on the wand to raise or lower the shades and enjoy your ideal levels of light or privacy.
