Do not cut the loops. Instead, install a permanent tie-down device to the floor, wall or window jamb so the cord or chain is pulled tight. Never put a crib or young child s bed near a window. Even if you have child guards on the windows, the temptation to investigate cords from hanging window coverings, is strong for a young child. Because young children climb, never put a chair, sofa, bench or even a bookcase near a window with a dangling cord.
Children climb on furniture, play with cords or chains and can become entangled.
