20.01.2022 It is still the case today that very young children are being badly injured and killed by simple internal blind cords. The obvious danger is when cords are left dangling accessible to little hands but there is a less obvious danger. Cleats, those small plastic units you apply to the window architrave or wall 1.6m from the ground hold little challenge to older kids. The cleat does not accept the full length of the cord and the school aged child simply pulls a chair up and unwinds it with ease. Then they will leave it dangling for the little ones to become entangled. https://cordaway.wordpress.com//internal-blind-cords-are-/

18.01.2022 Blind Cords A Deadly Hazard In Australia there are literally millions of homes with corded blinds Venetians, Roman and Plantation. These types of blinds and others similar have been installed in Australian homes since the 1950s in huge numbers. Blind cords are one of the most dangerous hazards in modern housing to children. The Commonwealth Government has implemented Blind Safety regulations through the ACCC. Local State Government Consumer Affairs departments issue stand...ard warnings and demand that rental properties be all fitted with safety devices cleats. Cleats are simply inadequate. A cleat does not take the full length of the blind cord and even when several are fitted, the cord can be accessed by an older child and unwound, leaving a hugely risky situation for toddlers.

If its there then its to be climbed, if it swings lets swing from it if you can jump, jump. Stop the video right here. In up to 50% of older housing stock in Australia there are venetian blinds with dangling unprotected cords. Add to this the thousands upon thousands of the very popular wooden plantation blinds sold through the mid 2000s up until today again all with long dangling cords. Quite simply these represent serious safety risks to young children strangulation is unfortunately a very real possibility. Realistically its a definite risk for all children aged up to 6-7 years of age. It takes but a short period less than a minute for the child to lose consciousness. After 30-40 seconds, the risk is asphyxiation resulting in death or permanent brain damage. A plastic cleat may seem more attractive but in reality its probably limited in its safety application and easily accessed by older children without an external cover. Cordaway provides enough space to take the full blind cord. It is then protected by a childproof snap-on cover. The Cordaway device is 230mm high, 45mm wide and 28mm deep. It is attractive and was designed and then approved by Industrial Designers and Interior Designers. It is unobtrusive and yet completely contains the cords in a manner where they are inaccessible to small children. Only an adult will comfortably remove the outer cover. And consider at 1.6m from floor level the device is out of a small childs reach fixed to the window architrave or wall. It is functional and fits in with modern decor. Once your children have reached safe age and you are confident of their awareness and common sense, it is a simple job to remove the Cordaway device if you desire. Simply fill up the screwholes and repaint the architraves. To be Kid-Safe, its really simple. Fit a Cordaway Device and ensure real safety for your family. Available now, click on Shop Now. See more

16.01.2022 Cordaway Purchase here now and ensure your childs safety. Cordaway is a NEW BLIND CORD SAFETY DEVICE. Unlike cleats, which are exposed, Cordaway has sufficient room to store the FULL CORD and is then protected by a SNAP ON cover. You can order yours now by simply clicking on SHOP here on this page. Blind cord fatalities continue worldwide unabated. The solution from both legislators and manufacturers alike is to create new cordless blinds. But the reality is that millions ...upon millions of corded blinds already exist in countless homes here in Australia and in other countries. Children under 5 years are particularly vulnerable. It takes less than a minute for a child to be asphyxiated when tangled in a blind cord. LESS THAN ONE MINUTE. Unfortunately children are still succumbing to such strangulations. Even those rescued are often left with permanent brain damage. Rented properties, older homes and in many cases where young families are socially disadvantaged or starting out often are fitted with these blinds. It is legally required in all Australian States that such blinds are fitted with safety devices. Usually that is a 15c ineffective cleat made of plastic fitted 1.6 m from the floor. With Venetian and plantation style blinds the cleat simply does not capture the whole of the blind cord. The solution is to add more cleats. These are exposed. Children from 5 upwards can easily unwind them and often do, to the detriment of their younger siblings. The Cordaway device is purpose designed. It has much bigger hooks (cleats) fixed to a backing plate that is fitted to the window architrave or wall. Wind the cord on and it is fully enclosed once the snap on cover is fitted. Its a simple easy procedure for an adult. Its somewhat more difficult for children and quite the deterrent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1krTtiSH5A So dont delay. Buy now.

16.01.2022 Real Protection or a 15c Cleat? Choose Cordaway for real protection As many people are aware, blind cords for internal blinds (venetians, roman or plantation blinds) are a definite danger to small children. It is a tragic fact that children are still being suffocated or are dying after becoming tangled in the hanging blind cords. In most if not all states it is a statutory requirement to fit safety cleats adjacent to the internal blinds 1.6m off the floor. This is to ensure t...he cords are wound onto the cleats and removed from harms way (and the prying little hands of toddlers and small children). The problem is that the cleats do not prevent adventurous children unwinding the cords. And in many cases one cleat simply will not accept the full length of the cord. The real solution is to purchase the Cordaway Device for a failsafe solution to storing blind cords. Cordaway accepts the full length of the Blind Cord and then ensure it is safely stored with a snap on cover. It comes down to this What price is a childs life worth? A cleat may be cheap but its also risky. Use the Shop Now button on this page and purchase the Cordaway units for $9.60 plus shipping.
