- Screens are meant to keep insects out, not to prevent falls–a child can easily push out a window screen.
- Make sure that windows are closed and locked when not in use. If your windows do not have locks, you can install them.
- Put window stops on all windows. This keeps the window from opening more than 4 inches.
- For second-story windows or higher, install window guards to protect your child when the windows are open. Be sure yours has a quick-release mechanism in case of an emergency.
